What to do with this number
A score only means something next to a college list.
National percentiles and concordance tables tell you where a score sits across the country. They don't tell you whether it's competitive at the specific schools your student is considering, or what to work on between now and application season. HIYP tracks a student's scores, grades, courses, and activities year by year and turns them into the next concrete step.
