Hey guys.. how does the percentage of questions that you got right usually translate into a value? I know that you are compared to other people.. so by percentile... but lets say you are getting about 50% of the problems right does that mean you are looking at a 15 for a score? Thanks

Your percentiles aren't the percent you get right, it's the percentage of people you did better than on that set of questions.

does that refer to that EXACT question set?

No, i don't believe it's the exact same question set. I believe there are a pool of questions that you can get and your score is determined based on the questions you get and how other people did on those questions.
