it is what percentage you are in the state :)

ie. if you are in the middle of the state you would be 50%

or if you came first you would be 100%

how do you estimate them with a 'degree of accuracy'? i mean how can you say that i will be in about 70-80 percentile....

I think that the careers advisor (ie Mrs Paton) would have a rough estimate of what your percentile would be based on your school performance...

EDIT: Obviously is hard to predict it 'accurately' cos performance will vary :)

Actually, percentiles are more accurate... providing you can estimate them accurately to begin with... :p

No. You have to work it out from the band percentages.
