   Does it mean less time with your children though? I feel like with day shift I'd barely see my children. They'd be getting ready for bed when I was getting home, and I would leave in the AM before they're even up. Whereas with night shift, I'd see th...

    kaiwahine is right. It's not your AIS that counts, but rather your percentile. But to answer your question, I had a 93.9% AIS, and 99th percentile overall. I also scored 99th percentile in all content areas, except for math, where I scored in the 96...
