Percentile Rank Percentage of data that lies below the given percentile (ex. 79th percentile means that 79% of the test scores were below this student's test score
Z-score

The number of Standard Deviations the Percentage Correct Measurement is from the Mean. The Z value is in standard units. The formula used is Z=S-M/SD

(Z-score equals Score minus the Mean divided by Standard Deviation)

T-score A standard score just as is the Z-Score, but this linear score uses positive numbers only. this set of normally distributed standard scores has a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10 and is computed by the following: T=50 + 10(Z)
  • M = Mean
  • T = T-Score
  • Z = Z-score
  • SD = Standard Deviation
  • S = Score
  • N = No of Scores
