<p>If the 200-800 scale is based on standard deviation, does that mean that scoring a 700 on any given section results in the 98.5th percentile? 97% of a normal distribution falls within 2 standard deviations of the mean, and since half of the 3% that don’t would fall to one end, that means only 1.5% of all test takers would get above a 700…that doesn’t seem right.</p>
