GRE Composite Score Percentile

On the PTCAS application, it asks for the GRE Composite Score Percentile. However, on my score report it only gave me the percentiles of my individual scores. I was wondering how I would find the percentile for the total score. I feel like it will be different than just averaging the two because different people will score better on one section and worse on another. Here are my scores:

V 600 = 85%
Q 750 = 83%
Composite = 1350 = ???

Thanks for the help!

You would just average your 2 percentiles. So with 85% and 83% your composite percentile would be 84%.

Wrong, wrong, wrong...

The two separate percentiles DO NOT have anything to do with the composite percentiles... People usually do better on one section than another, so if someone were to receive those two scores their composite percentile would be in the 90s. Here is a better resource:
