That was a great explanation. Somebody's been eating Statistics books for breakfast.

Hunter,

Nobody knows the formula that Excelsior uses to calculate grades, and they don't provide any cut-off scores either. However, if I had to hazard a guess, I would say that scoring in the 89th percentile is a reasonably good sign that you will perform well on the actual exam. After all, almost 90% of test-takers scored LOWER than you on this practice exam. Also, the average test-taker scored around 43% correct, whilst you scored 64% correct.

I assume you are not done preparing yet, so you will likely improve upon this score on the actual exam.

I think you are going to do just fine,
Snazzlefrag
