"Your percentile rank scores are based on the current norm group each time
you take the PCAT. The current norm group is defined as all first-time
examinees who took the test between October 2004 and May 2007. Your
scaled scores are based on the number of live items that you answered
correctly for each subtest. Each multiple-choice subtest is calculated
separately."

I would take a Pearson Practice exam to find the most accurate percentile range for your scores. I didn't find Kaplan to be that accurate
