scores versus percentiles

I'm noticing a lot of people who scored a 19 AA got around a 75 percentile, while people who scored a 22 TS got around a 96 percentile.

For my exam, I got a 19 AA, 85 percentile, while I got a 21 TS, 96.4 percentile...does that mean that my exam was harder?

Do schools get your percentiles?

Schools do not get percentiles. My fiance and I got the same score of 23AA and 24TS. However, my percentile was 99.7 and her percentile was 98.7. It might be that your test was harder, but schools will not see your percentile.
