How do I calculate percentile and how it is different from percentage?
Percentage is what we have been calculating our entire lives. It is absolute.Percentage = (your marks/total marks) x 100For example, if in an exam of 100 marks, you scored 90, then your percentage would be 90%.Basically your percentage is irrelevant of how the other students have fared in the same exam and it is just a reflection of how well you did individually.However, percentile is a little different as it is relative. Here the scores of the other students in the same exam is very important to how we calculate a person’s percentile as it gives you the idea of how good/bad you did in an exam.If I had to summarize percentile in a formula (which will help you calculate the same for any competitive exam that you need),Percentile = (number of people behind you/total number of people) x 100For example, if in a class of 100 students, you topped the exam. So what this means is that your score is better than 99 people and hence your percentile is 99%ile. Again, if your rank had been 30th, that means your score is better than 70 people and hence your percentile is 70%ile.Thus in percentile, the number of people whose score is below you or the number of people your score is better than is your percentile.I have also covered the same (with a few more examples) in a video whose link I have shared below and while the name of the video might indicate that it could be inclined towards MBA competitive exams, the concept remains the same and is valid for any competitive exam that you appear for.Hope this helps.
What is the criteria of calculating percentile in aiims?
A percentile (or centile) is the value of a variable below which a certain percent of observations fall. So the 20th percentile is the value (or score) below which 20 percent of the observations may be found. The term percentile and the related term percentile rank are often used in descriptive statistics as well as in the reporting of scores from norm-referenced tests.Your percentile score = { (No, of people who got less than you/ equal to you) / (no. of people appearing in the exam) } x 100 Thus, if in an exam, 10 people give the test and 9 people get either less than what you got or equal to what you got, your percentile score is: {9/10} x 100 = 90 percentile. It is used in CAT and many other such entrance exams. Thus, the higher percenilte, the better marks but, it is different from percentage and sop, percentile gives an idea of relative performance with others and not how high you scored out of the total marks.
What does a 2.2 degree mean?
This is the UK system of degree classification. This is not the same as a GPA or other international grading systems. UK degrees are classified as follows.Highest to Lowest degree classification (marks out of 100):1st / Class I - 70 or above2:1 / Class II Division I - 60 to 692:2 / Class II Division II - 50 to 593rd / Class III - 40 to 49Please note, this is a UK grading system only and should not be used as a direct comparison to other international systems or percentage grades.
What is your Lumosity Performance Index, LPI (formerly called BPI)?
I am operating with a working assumption that the general population of Luminosity users is distributed almost exclusively within the upper 1/4 of the IQ distribution of the general population. Why? Most people don’t care about their IQ or “brain development”, and the lower 3/4 won’t even bother with things associated with mental development or exercise. Per this hypothesis then, the IQ range for Lumosity users is from 110 on up (on a scale where 100 is the average IQ of the general population).Nominally, then, for the population of Lumosity users, here are some rough IQ ranges:35% are 110–11555% are 116–1308% are 131–1452% are 146+Since many BPI games also involve high speed fine-motor hand-eye coordination, younger people will generally have an advantage over the older portion of the population. This shows up in their analysis of your personal BPI when compared with different age ranges.At age 64, I seem to only be able to increase my scores in minor increments, but am consistently in the 90+ percentiles in all categories. I think BPI and IQ are only loosely bound together, mostly through strategy development for BPI score improvements.All that being said, I find the games entertaining and I am using them as an advanced monitor for any symptoms of age-related mental or physical decline. As long as my scores are still generally improving, I believe I’m not losing my marbles, lolComments from others welcome!

How much marks in NEET is good?
I’ll do a quantitative study. This is for Non-Delhi students.Above 650— MAMC? Sure.Above 635— Delhi college? Sure.Above 610— Seth GS, IMS BHU, GMC Chandigarh, top state college? Sure.Above 590— Top state college through State Quota, 2nd best through AIQ.Above 560— Top college through state quota(100% chances in MP, little doubts in Delhi), decent medical colleges elsewhere.Above 540— Pretty good med. colleges in home state(Still the top one in MP), far fetched colleges in other states.Above 510— Get state college comfortably, borderline to get seat through AIQ.Above 490— Get college in state, not a good one(still a good one in MP). No chances in AI.Above 480— Borderline for State Quota(lower ones in MP), beginning of private med. colleges.I have mentioned the above for those students who don’t belong to highly competitive states, like UP, Delhi, Gujarat, Rajasthan and UT, Chandigarh.Thus, the better the college, the better the marks required. Choose for yourself :)I think this data applies more or less everywhere. If I am wrong, please do correct me.
