Your percentile is a 15% if you read the correct line on your report. It seems you did, since you stated that as your composite percentile. Percentiles are different than percentages. Percentiles show how you rank against the other PCAT test takers. With a percetile of 15, that means you scored higher than 15% of the other PCAT test takers. You will likely have to take the test again, since a competitive score is above a 70 (or thereabouts). You should search the PCAT thread to find some good advice as to how to study properly to raise your score. Good luck! 🙂
