The 50th percentile is the median, which means that 50% of the scores are above and 50% are below. Therefore, the raw score that corresponds to the 50th percentile is the score that is exactly in the middle of the distribution. In this case, since the highest possible raw score is 800 and the lowest is 200, the middle score would be (800 + 200) / 2 = 500.
