What is a SAT Percentile?

A SAT percentile is a measure used to compare a student’s SAT score with the scores of other students who took the same test. It indicates the percentage of students whose scores were lower than the student’s score. For example, if a student is in the 90th percentile, it means that they scored higher than 90% of the students who took the same test. It provides a context to understand the student’s performance relative to their peers.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the SAT Percentile:

\[ SP = \left( \frac{1000 - 100}{1000} \right) \times 100 = 0.9 \times 100 = 90\% \]

The SAT Percentile is 90%.
