    What does the percentile score of a student mean? Simply put, it is the percentage of students below him in a test. Let us take an example.
    Student X wrote an exam which was written by a total of 1000 students. Suppose X stood 10th in the test - that is, there were 990 students below him in that test. 990 as a percentage of 1000 is 99. So, 99 per cent of the students who wrote the test were below X.
    What this means is that the percentile of X is 99. Suppose Student Y stood 95th in the same test, i.e., there were 905 students below him. So, Y's percentile score in this test will be 90.5.
