I summed the distributions of everybody who applied to the match in 2009 to give the distribution of scores and percentiles for step 1, which nbme unhelpfully did not provide for us in our score reports. Just giving a mean and sd is unconvincing for assuming normality so I didn't want to rely on that for calculating percentiles. The lower end of the curve is truncated but it should give you guys a rough idea based on real data. Keep in mind the percentiles are for people applying for the match and not for people taking the test.
