Quartile results published

[epalaci...@gmail.com]

Hi,

We have just received the quartile results notification for the three
applicacions my group presented. There is a result for each category
and the overall result.

Two of them are within the top 25% of all the sumitted applications
and another one in the 25th to 50th quartile. So now we have a little
feeback to improve each of them.

Now we feel much better, as we now we competed well. We would have
liked a more detailed feedback but this is much better than nothing.

Thank you Google!

hm, 50-75 percentile is better than 25-50th, right?
so top 25% is 75-100 percentile?

No it's the other way around :)
25% is better

Hi dr123 :)
Percentile ranking should be in general something like http://www.west.net/~stewart/gre/score_q.htm example is.

So, as I see, higher percentile is better.. Googling for percentile ranking seems to confirm this.

Unless google turned something upside-down and it's not about percentile ranking?

regs,
Ahti

Quartiles are supposed to be like this:

only 3% of the apps made it.
If you were in this 3% you got in. If you were in 20% you were better
than 80% of the other apps. etc

The way I understand percentiles, if your score is higher than the
scores of 50% of the participants, you would be in the 50th
percentile. If your score is greater than only 25% of the
participants, you would be in the 25th percentile. So that means that
someone in the 25th - 50th percentile would have a lower score than
the one in the 50th - 75th percentile.

The results have been grouped in 4 quartiles

top 25% (75 - 99th percentile)
50th - 75th percentile
25th - 50th percentile
lower 25% (0-25th percentile)
