Primary answer
While the total number of questions is 180, the raw score (out of 180) is statistically scaled to a final score out of 800. This scaling ensures that the difficulty levels across different exam dates (February, May, July, etc.) are normalized. The 'Percentile' indicates the percentage of candidates who scored less than or equal to you. For instance, a 95 percentile means you performed better than 95% of the test-takers in that specific session. Top-tier colleges generally look for a scaled score of 650+ or a percentile above 90.
