Hi, I would like to interpret the results if my DS’s results is in the 84 percentile. Is it an ave or above ave score?

Hi, I am also trying to understand. Top 50 gets cert of distinction /high dist; then 51-120 gets cert of credit. Does 84 percentile equate to cert of credit?

[trileets]

no , only cert of participation.

Is P5 still consider junior category?

[trileets]

P5 is still Junior Category. Was wondering how many participants were there?

[clover18]

I believe P5 and P6 still under junior category; will need to know the number of participants on the percentile to qualify for dist/credit/etc to better interpret the performance.

P6 is under open category.
Yah, hard to know without info on the actual number of participants. DS (P6) managed 95.87 percentile, but under cert of credit ie. 51-120. So I believe need to be at least 96-97% to get into top 50.

I threw away ds’s participation code! Hopefully the teacher will update the class.
