Find out your placement amongst the state here

I remember I came across a thread where somebody asked this, but I cannot remember who, so I decided to make a thread.

I found this useful! For although you may think your SS is bad, you do feel better knowing your placement amonsgt the state

Study Score
20,   25,   30,   35,   37,   40,   45,  
% of students above this position
92,   76,   50,   24,   15,   8,     2

btw, I FAILED at creating the table-.-* took me so many "previews" to get it right, and even still it's not what I wanted lol

Disclaimer: The above data applies for studies with 1000+ students, for many subjects COUGH Latin, it would vary slightly
