Please help figure out composite score and percentile ranking of PAX Exam.

I keep wracking my brain and looking up examples but I just don’t understand it. I don’t think I did very good but I still want to know my composite score and my percentile ranking. I need a 105 composite score with a 50 percentile ranking in verbal. My answers I got right out of: Verbal 37/60 which 62%. Science 35/60 which is 58%. Math 18/40 which is 45%. I have tried contacting NLN but no one is answering. Thanks guys! Much appreciated if you can help me out.

Hi K

Your composite score is listed on your score report so you shouldn't need to be calculating it yourself. It should be located at the top. Take a look again to see if you don't see it. I see your math needs work. For the program I'm interested in they require that all 3 topics to have a percentile rank above 50%. However that is the minimum score they are willing to even take. It also depends on the amount of applicants. Most students I asked their score  working to get into the same program as me have composite scores around 100 which doesn't make them stand out because many students have around 100.  I would suggest if you need to take it again, study in advance and try timing yourself. Try to score highest possible ( easier said then done I know.) Do many many questions. I kind of made it enjoyable project for myself. I didn't want to wait 6 months again to do the exam. Good luck either way!
