What is actual score and what is percentile score

Hii

Suppose, out of 300 in jee mains, you scored 210. And your rank was 10000 and total number of students appeared was 12lakh.

So, from these data your actual score will be 210 and percentile score is

((12 lakh-10000)/12lakh)*100

That's 99.1666667

So, percentile score is the % of students who scored lower than your.

Hope it helps

Hello,

Most competitive exams these days give result in terms of percentile. This will make the ranking procedure easy.

Actual score is the raw score that the candidate scores in the exam.

And percentile in its real sense, depicts the percentage of candidates that the candidate surpassed with his/her performance.

Example: if you answer 2 questions correctly in JEE Main, with +4 for correct answer, your actual score is 8.

And out of 100 people, if 80 students have scored less than or equal to you, then your percentile is 80.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.
