Test Statistics

To help you make your university choices, you may want to understand how your test result relates to overall candidate performance. You may also be interested to know how your score compares with those used by universities in previous years.

Mean scores can shift between testing years and so direct comparison is not always possible. Information is provided on decile distributions.
