how does the percentile of DAT work?
I know heard the dental schools don't even get the percentile in their report sheet
but I am just curious

is the percentile based on how many I got right or how many people I did better than them?

then how do mock exams calculate their percentile? it seems only based on how many I got it right.

The percentile is the percent of other DAT-takers that got an equal or lower score than you. It has nothing to do with how many you get right or wrong.
