FAQ: What is the local percentile rank?

A percentile rank is the percentage of examinees that score the same or lower than our subject examinee's specific score.

The local percentile rank refers to the local group of examinees.  In the case of the OnlineTesting System, the local group is the group of examinees that have completed that specific test in that specific account.

For example, if you are viewing a report for ABC Company and there are 10 examinees that have completed the Mechanical Aptitude Test.  The local group would consist of these 10 examinees.  The local percentile rank would indicate how one examinee ranks against the other 9 examinees.
