[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 33571, member: 2672"] FBD changed the test a couple of years after I left. But even if I knew and I told you the percentile, it means very little to you as you don’t know the norm group you are being assessed against. Percentile benchmarks generally range from low 20s through to low 70s but as I stressed this means very little anyway. I highly doubt any firm has a percentile above the 80th unless they don’t give a damn about diversity. But then again you could be assessed against a norm group of 5 year olds and maybe a percentile of 80th or above would be appropriate. Norm groups are not identical across firms, so you could do one assessment and have the 40th percentile with one firm and the 80th percentile with the next because they are benchmarking you in different ways. The other thing to stress is that people often assume it is the psychometric test that is the reason for being unsuccessful. In many cases, it may be that your application has subsequent been screened and that the decision has been made on the basis of your application or your application and the test result, rather than the test alone.
