Question:
Suppose you score 85% on the first exam in your Statistics class, and suppose you score at the 85 percentile on the SAT exam in Mathematics. What is the difference in these two scores?
Answer:
They're both good scores but the SAT score is better. Because, your first exam in Stats, you should get it all right anyways.. :)
