Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Percentile scores are used to compare the relative ranking of an individual's test score within a distribution, indicating the percentage of scores that fall below a particular score. They do not represent an equal-interval scale, cannot be directly added or averaged in a meaningful way, and are not equally spaced across all parts of a distribution.
