Everyyear on May 1, the percentile ranks are updated using data from the most recent three years. These annual updates will ensure that the percentile ranks reflect current and stable information about your students' scores. This means that changes in percentile ranks from one year to another reflect meaningful changes in the scores of examinees, rather than year-to-year fluctuations. Updating percentile ranks is consistent with industry practice.

The current percentile ranks are based on the scores of everyone who tested in 2021, 2022, and 2023. Please note that these percentile ranks are similar to the percentile ranks that were in use from May 2023 through April 2024.


The MCAT scores of 2025 applicants will be reported with these percentile ranks. Additionally, any students who submit NEW applications to the AMCAS program on or after May 1 for 2024 admission will have these percentile ranks. The scores of students who submit applications to non-AMCAS systems or who request score reports through the Score Reporting System (SRS) on or after May 1 will also have these percentiles.


All Exam Rank Predictor is an automated UI based platform built to calculate marks from candidates exams response sheets and show them real time rank analysis depending on the number of candidates rank checked.


Score reports are posted for applicable examinations for miscellaneous classes in accordance with Civil Service Rules 111A, 112, 411A and 412. The scores and ranks achieved and number of individuals at each rank are listed in order of total scores. No names appear on examination score reports.


Eligible Lists are posted in accordance with Civil Service Rules 212 and 312 for Uniformed Ranks of the Police and Fire Departments. The names of candidates passing all phases of an examination are placed on the eligible list in the order of total scores; candidates who have tied scores are listed in alphabetical order.


Eligible Lists are a list of every individual that passed the Civil Service Exam for either a job class (in the case of a Class Based Test or a Continuous Class Based Test), or a particular position (in the case of a Position Based Test). Eligible lists are in rank order, where your rank is determined based on your score on the exam.


Once all of the candidates have completed all of the exam parts, the City's Merit-Bridge Civil-Service Tool will calculate your final score, as well as the scores for each of the other candidates. The scores are then put in order from 1000 to 700, the better that you did on the exam the higher your final score, and the lower your rank (A perfect score of 1000 might earn you a Rank of 1). Keep in mind that there are some circumstances where someone may get more than 1000 points.


The City publicly posts a report showing the ranks and scores of everyone that is on an eligible list. Depending on the type of job that you applied for, your name may be included or the list may not have any names at all. For most jobs, the list is posted without any identifying information, protecting the identities of candidates and helping to ensure that the hiring process is as fair as possible. For Public Safety jobs, such as Firefighters and Police Officers, the names of each candidate are included for public review.


You have the right to ensure that our math was correct in calculating your score. The email that you received with your score details will also include instructions on how to calculate your score yourself. Note: You must contact the exam analyst that is handling your exam between the Inspection Dates that were posted on the Eligible List.


The final step for the eligible list is adoption. The adoption process make the eligible list official and available for departments and teams to hire from. We will not adopt a list until you have had your opportunity to review it and the inspection period has passed. The adoption date is also what sets the expiration date of the eligible list.


In some cases, an eligible list may be extended past its expiration date. If you are impacted you will be notified of this change via email. When a list is extended, you may be referred to a hiring department after the initial list duration, otherwise there is nothing that you need to do in this circumstance.


I only scored a 73.3, but my "Percentile Rank Program" is 92. I am trying to understand how this can be. Is it that the test is much harder than other versions, and LPNs everywhere are getting a lower score, which raises my percentile?


Are they counting just a my specified area, or school, or group of schools with "program"? I just don't see how 73% is in 92 percentile of LPNS. If it is even close to that I may have a good chance of getting in, because I did hear the TEAS V is a harder test. If it is counting my area, or my school then I would have one of the better chances of getting accepted.


I think it just depends on your school. I know for my RN program the only thing they went by was the National Percentile. We had to have a National of 45. I have no idea how they generate those numbers. I know a lot of people are confused by them.


I do find it amazing that I would be in the 92 percentile with this score, but I guess the computer isn't lying. The advisor I spoke to from my school was almost like speaking to a lawyer. He was very nice but wouldn't answer any specific questions at all about what they are looking for, what the scores meant, or my chances.


I think the stats are still fairly new, and so the standards for acceptance are more lax right now in terms of percentage acceptance, simply because the numbers aren't hard and fast yet. I imagine once the TEAS V is out a little longer, the acceptance ranges will tighten up to some degree.


That's interesting about the program rank, your score of 88%, being in the 96 percentile. That coincides with what digitiminimi was saying about the program rank being just for your particular school or particular area. Your national rank is along the same lines as mine going by our scores. (Mine was only 77)


There might be people scoring a lot lower in my particular program because Biology or Chemistry is not even a required class for my school. I know that I've NEVER had a biology or chemistry class in my life! I thought my weakness would be on science material, but I ended up getting SO nervous, that I messed up on things I do well in typically. I could have just died! I ended up doing decent in science only because I got the practice booklet and tried to go through and teach myself bio and chem. I'd never had heard of most of it, except A&P! If other students (in my school) didn't do a lot of preparing, I can see why they may have done poorly.


That is interesting that your Mean-Program is higher than the national average. Some of these "Mean-Programs" (I guess my school) on here were amazingly low, such as 42.3% for science, 38.7% for life science.


I guess if somehow I do get accepted for doing better comparatively, I really need to still go back and build my foundation. I will need to take Chemistry and the Bios because I want to bridge to my BSN eventually.


I did get in, but applicants at my school are first selected based on academics. Each slot is conditional upon passing the TEAS and background/drug screen. We're in a weighted lottery system. The more times you apply, the greater chance of getting selected. Minimally qualified is still as qualified as someone that has excellent academics...


I scored 79.3 on my second attempt. I feel like this should do the trick. I am applying for the Physical Therapy Assisting Program at Ivy Tech. I would be curious to know what others in my program study scored.


The bar exam curve is very real. Check out the Multistate Bar Exam (MBE) National Scaled Score Distribution charts published by the National Conference of Bar Examiners (NCBE) for 2019, 2020 and 2021. MBE score results consistently follow a bell curve pattern for every single bar exam administration.


A few students have a very high MBE scaled score and some have a very low scaled score. Most bar takers fall right in the middle, within a few points of each other. In most U.S. states, your MBE score makes up 50% of your overall bar exam score and the other exam components are weighted to the MBE.


First, select a bar prep provider that is preparing the majority of students sitting for your exam, so you can get valid percentile rank information. Then, monitor your percentile rank, by subject, throughout your course and make adjustments to your studies as you progress.


Monitoring your percentile rank by subject will help you identify areas in which you are strong relative to your peers and those that need more work. This strategy will keep you from spending too much time in areas you are already proficient enough to pass and will push you to build up your weaker spots.


Once you identify subjects in which you are scoring in the 40th percentile or lower, you want to return to those subjects. Re-watch portions of the lecture, consult the Conviser Mini Review or dive into your outlines if necessary. Consider using a different study tool than what you chose initially. Mixing up your bar prep learning activities can help the information sink in differently and has been proven to raise scores.


After completing the simulation, you will receive a Pass Predictor score report broken down by MBE topic and subtopic. This insightful report shows your overall percentile rank and where you sit on the bar exam curve compared to everyone else preparing for the same exam.
