Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jessica Booker" data-source="post: 186048" data-attributes="member: 2672">On the most basic levels of analysis, a “standout” percentile ranking would generally be anything 80th or above. However, I’d stress this does not mean you need to get the 80th percentile in these assessments.What you don’t know is what group of people you are being assessed against to get that percentile ranking. This is an extreme example with made up numbers just to explain things…You could do the same test and be assessed against different norm groups (these are the other people they are comparing you against). One norm group could be a general UK population group, one group could be your fellow applicants, another group could be partners in the law firm you have applied to. Those groups are likely to have very different percentile rankings for the same test. You could get 80th percentile for the first group (general population), 60th percentile (applicants) and 30th percentile (partners). Each firm could then have different views of what is “standout” - the firm who assesses you against partners could think 30th is a standout performance, while the 60th percentile for the general applicant pool could be considered average.To make it even more complicated, different firms weight different aspects of the WG differently, so it’s really difficult to compare tests or make statements about what is good/what is not.</blockquote>
