### How to use your percentile

Percentile is useful for national context, but admissions decisions are made school by school. A high percentile can still be below range at a top engineering program, and a lower percentile can be strong for a regional public university or scholarship cutoff.

| Percentile range | What it means | Next step |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 95th+ | Strong for selective colleges, but still compare against each school's middle 50% range. | Protect easy points and drill hard-module misses. |
| 75th-94th | Above average to strong; section split determines the best improvement path. | Use the score calculator and drill the weaker section. |
| Below 75th | There is likely broad score upside from fundamentals and pacing. | Start with easy/medium bank questions and review every miss. |
