Hello,
I am trying to understand what 99.9% is on the ACT test for a 7th grader--or if that even exists.
On the Duke TIP summary tables, it only goes up to 99%, and that # covers from as low as a 26 in Math, 27 Science, 32 Reading, 30 English, and 27 composite.
Is there such a thing as 99.9% on this test?
Thanks! I appreciate your wisdom!
Since no one else has chimed in, I thought I would bump the thread back up. I don't know about the 99.9%, but the Davidson Institute does post what the qualifying scores would be for their Young Scholar Program for the ACT for the seventh grade.
Davidson Young Scholars Qualification Criteria Does anyone else know about the 99.9th percentile?
The NUMATS tables have it broken down more.
For 7th graders,
English: 35 = 99.9
Math: 34=99.8 but 35 is reported as 100. (For 6th graders, a 35 is 99.9. The stats don't mean as much out at the tails.)
Reading: 35 is 99.8, 36 is 100.
Science: 34 is 99.9
Composite: 32 is 99.9
For comparison to Duke, in the NUMATS 7th grade pool (n=6,818), 99% starts at 32 for English, 30 for Math, 33 for Reading, 29 for Science, 29 for composite.
Thank you so much for taking the time to post these!
Can anyone help me find the same information for the SAT? Couldn't find it from a quick Google search.

99.9th percentile for 7th graders? Or some other breakpoint / grade?
