By looking at these awesome scores recently, what is your guess on how many people score
20+?
25+ ?
 
Dunno, but keep in mind that this forum is a very small population of all applicants. There are also others that also achieve really high scores like these individuals that are not on this forum. In total though, it is a very, very small percentage . It would have to be otherwise the average wouldn't be ~17 every year.
 
You have to consider there are several people who don't use SDN and several people who don't choose to post breakdowns of there scores ( which may be high or low )

Percentages have been removed which makes this harder to figure out, but roughly 13,000 people take the DAT each year. Approximately 2% of them score above a 23 (AA), which is about 260 students. .01% score above a 25, which is about 13 students.
Is it normal for them to remove percentages?

It is now, they stopped reporting it.

OP: I got some more accurate figures from here, so I can give some more exact numbers. Out of 13,995 test takers in 2009, the following number received the AA scores below:

20: 1,287 students
21: 741 students
22: 377 students
23: 196 students
24: 84 students
25: 28 students
26: 14 students
27: less than 14 students, if any (0.0 percent - this means too few to show up on the percentile scale)
28: less than 14 students, if any (0.0 percent)
29: less than 14 students, if any (0.0 percent)
30: less than 14 students, if any(0.0 percent)
