WHAT DOES CAT PERCENTILE MEAN ?
Simply put, It is the percentage of Students below you in a test.
Student A wrote an exam which was written by a total of 10,000 students. Suppose A stood 100th in the test - that is, there were 9900 students below him in that test. 9900 as a percentage of 10,000 is 99. So, 99 per cent of the students who wrote the test were below X.
Essentially it gives your relative standing.
CAT Percentage Score :
If in a section the maximum possible marks is 50. The person scoring highest has scored 40 and you have scored 30. Then your percentage score is 30/40*100 = 75 %.
