# Definition of Percentile Rank

A percentile rank for a score gives you the percentage of scores that are less than or equal to that score.

For example, if you recieve a score in the 90th percentile, the scores of $90\%$ of people in the class will be less than or equal to your score. So, you have done as well as, or better than $90\%$ of the people in your class.

Apart from exam scores, other numerical data such as heights and weights can be reported as percentile ranks.
