**2. A mark of 75% always has a percentile rank of 75.** | False. A mark of 75% could have a percentile rank of 75 if it is the median score. However, it could also have a percentile rank of 60, 65, 80, or any other percentile rank, depending on the distribution of scores.
**3. A mark of 75% might have a percentile rank of 75.** | True. See above.
**4. It is possible to have a mark of 95% and a percentile rank of 40.** | True. For example, if there are 100 students in a class, and 95 of them get 100% on a test, then the student who gets 95% will have a percentile rank of 40.
**5. The higher the percentile rank, the better that score is compared to other scores.** | True. A higher percentile rank indicates that a score is better than more of the other scores.
**6.A percentile rank of 80, indicates that 80% of the scores are above that score.** | False. A percentile rank of 80 indicates that 80% of the scores are **at or below** that score.
**7. PR50 is the median.** | True. The median is the middle score in a distribution. By definition, half of the scores will be at or below the median, and half of the scores will be at or above the median. Therefore, the percentile rank of the median is 50.
