Hi Sangeet,
Percentile has nothing to do with marks. It is a relative ranking mechanism. Percentile expresses the number of students in percentage who are behind you Or in short, if your percentile is 95, it just means 95 percentage of all students who took the exam are behind you in terms of ranking. It also means you are in the top 5 percentage of students. So Percentile is worked out as:
(No. of people behind you)/ (Total No of Candidates Attempted) * 100
It will be difficult to tell your how much you should score to get 70 percentile as we are not sure that how many students attempted the IBSAT exam and how many people scored less than you.
Hope it helps. Please feel free to revert. Click on the thumbs up if you found this useful.
