Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The 90th percentile means that you scored higher than 90% of the others who have taken the quiz. It does not necessarily mean that you answered 90% of the questions correctly, as the number of questions and difficulty level of the quiz could vary. It also does not indicate knowledge compared to the general population or the probability that your score was due to chance.
