You didn't get some type of instructions for interpretation when you got these results? I have no clue what they mean. Seems like you'd get something that explains how to interpret them.

The score you want to look at is the composite AD percentile, which for you seems to be a 43. From what I heard at the orientation the lowest composite score accepted into the program for Fall of '08 was 92. The other catagories tell you the raw score for example you got 27 questions out of 60 on the verbal which equals a 17 percentile.You may want to retake the exam. Best of luck to you! :)
