    What is the difference between percentage & percentile?

    You should know what a percentage is. It's based on a 100. Think of counting pennies.

    50 pennies would be 50% of a dollar.

    But, a percentile is different.

    Let's suppose that your score on a test is in the 90th percentile. That means you scored better than 90% of the others who took the test. Pretty good. It does not mean 90% of some ideal tet score.
