You first need to understand what a percentile actually is. So the percentile score represents the percentage of test-takers Or candidates that scored lower than you. We cannot convert it to particular marks but i can tell you what it refers

83rd percentile means you scored better than 83 % of the test takers.

Percentiles are based on the relative ranking of scores. For example there were total 100 test takers you are in 83rd percentile it means you scored higher than 83 people. Your rank will be 17 th in this situation.

I hope it's clear to you now..

Hello aspirant,

Percentile and marks are not directly interchangeable because percentile indicates your relative position among all test-takers, while marks represent the actual score you achieve in a test. However, to give you a rough idea:

- If you scored 83 percentile in a test, it means you performed better than 83% of the total candidates who took the same test.

- The exact marks corresponding to a percentile can vary depending on the distribution of scores in that particular test. Different exams have different score distributions and percentiles.


To determine the exact marks corresponding to 83 percentile in a specific exam, you would typically need to refer to the scorecard or the percentile-to-marks conversion table provided by the exam conducting authority. These tables are usually available along with the exam results or on the official website of the exam.


Hope it helps!

hello,

If you have scored 83 percentile in a exam,it is a relatively good score .The actual number of marks corresponding to the 83rd percentile may vary depending on the test's difficulty, the scoring scale, and the performance of other test-takers. Therefore, there isn't a fixed number of marks that corresponds to the 83rd percentile.A higher percentile indicates better relative performance.

hope this helps.
