    How ya Superhero87. I got my results today. Overall Score is 105 and my Overall Percentile is 52. From looking at your results, your percentile should be similar. Hope this helps

    thanks dude, are you going for ucd too?, from seeing the msap site i thought our overall percential would be better, it gives an example of 115 overall mark giving you a percential of about 80%, i know this is just an example and that the overall percential is worked out on a basis of how many people take it. did you get your results from the msap site, i couldn't

    No Superhero I'm going for NUIG. I got an email from MSAP directing me to go to the confirmation of registration email and log in with my email address and MSAP ID no. Hopefully you might have printed it out to find your ID no. If you havn't printed it they will tell you how to access it online. After doing so I saw that my overall score was 105 and my percentile is 52. Before getting my percentile I found it difficult to work it out because I was trying to do so using others as a reference. A point or two in difference in your overall scaled score can make a huge difference I've found because I am 105 and got 52 percentile and I looked at someone else who got a score of 109 and their percentile was up in the 60's.
    Hope this helps a little and good luck.

    You cant figure out your percentile just from your score. the percentile is where you rank compared to other applicants, i think the best way you can figure it out is by comparing to someone who knows theirs. was it not on your email by your module result? I got 112 and 117 and percentile of 77. Want to do Social Science in UCC...

    Hi, I have no idea how to use this thing (blog) but here goes. Am a 'very' mature student that did MSAP this year. Results wise what you have to understand is the difference between percentage and percentile. Percentage is how you do out a hundred. Percentile is how you rank within a range of people. For now that happens to be us...all that took the exam this year. So for example you may be at 65% percentile. That means that 65% got this grade or lower so you are in the top 35%...i hope this is clear and curses to module two...t'was a nightmare!
    Blessings....J
