The Scholastic Testing Service will also determine your percentile
rank according to your scaled score. Percentile rank shows where
you stand in relationship to other students and allows the schools
to compare candidates more easily. There is no passing or failing
score on the HSPT, although each school determines what a
desirable score is for its candidates.
