hi

percentile just indicates the appoximate percentage of people who scored below you and moreover people solve questions sometimes twice and therefore percentile is not a good indicator

Infact consider UW as a learning tool.Dont consider the percentage

But usually people who get 70 plus percent have a high chance of scoring high 99

I found this formula in this forum may be helpful to u

actual score(3 digit score)=(UWscore*2.44)+70
