It’s false to say that percentiles mean nothing. They compare one’s performance with that of others who took the test. This information is valuable to admissions officers, as it puts perspective on the score.

Because an 800 on the Literature test is the 99th percentile and an 800 on the Math 2 test is the 90th percentile, the former is more meaningful to admissions officers.
