How to find your admission test percentile
Score reports for law and pharmacy admission tests do not always show a percentile, and right after a test you may only have a rough sense of where you stand. This page offers two routes. If you know your actual rank among test takers, choose the rank method. If you only have a score plus the cohort mean and standard deviation, choose the normal distribution estimate. The two routes can return different numbers for the same person, so the formula actually used is printed with the result.
The rank method adds half of any tied group to your rank, divides by the number of test takers and subtracts the result from 100. The estimate method standardises your score by subtracting the mean and dividing by the deviation, then feeds that value into a standard normal cumulative approximation. Both are shown to two decimals alongside the share of the cohort above you.
Percentiles shift with each administration, so this page embeds no official percentile table. The estimate route is a modelled figure and can differ from a published percentile. Admission chances and school specific index scores are not supported.
Frequently asked questions
It is an estimate. If the real distribution of scores is skewed the result drifts from the published percentile, and the page labels the number as a normal distribution estimate. If you know your actual rank, the rank method is more accurate.
It was retired in January 2024, so programs no longer require it. Selecting it shows a notice, and the calculation is meant only for reading an older score report.
Half of the tied group is added to your rank before the rank share is computed, which is the usual convention. Enter 1 if you do not know the size of the tie and no adjustment is applied.
