    I had two reults:

    Scaled score: 100 Percentile: 49
    Scaled score: 97 Percentile: 39

    Can anyone please tell me what this means?!?!

    The percentile is basically the percentage of people you got a better or equal mark to in that module. I think there should be an overall number as well. I don't know whether they rely on the individual scores or the overall.

    I'm told there's a cut-off score to decide who gets interviews, depending on how competitive the competition for the places is I guess.

    I did 3 tests, my first score is the overall result of my first two tests. And my second score is the results of my first and third test together

    If you are in the 20th percentile then 80% of people who sat the exam scored higher than you.
    Basically how percentiles work.

    Hi,
    I got on module 1 112 scaled score percentile 64
    on module 2 103 scaled score percentile 70

    overall scaled score 108 percentile 71

    What does that mean in English???!!!!?? And at what stage do you know if it's good enough or not? Has everyone been notified if they've gotten an interview already...?? I've heard nothing
    :-(

    Not all courses hold interviews. Some just go by scores. After talking to the mature student office, I don't think we will know anything til d first week of July..so its a waiting game now good luck!
