I've heard it represents how difficult your exam was but I have no idea how much validity that has - our percentiles will get mailed to us
You need to know the standard deviation to calculate percentiles.
mean is 500
s.d. is 79
1 s.d. = 67th percentile, etc.
The two-digit score is similar to the three digit, but a different mean and different standard deviation. On my mailing from the NBOME, they only listed the three-digit mean and s.d.
The two-digit IS NOT a percentile.

How soon did you get the mailing after the scores were uploaded?
directly from the score report page:

So...it sounds like we get an actual percentile on the paper copy of the score report that gets mailed to us...but who knows..

You need to brush up on your biostats, buddy.
+1 SD = 84.1 percentile (+34.1 from average)
The 68% you may be referring to is the total number of people scoring within 1 standard deviation of the mean.
Yeah, thanks for catching the mistake; sorry if I confused anyone!
I think I received my mailing around 5 weeks from when I took the test.
