Understanding correctly the ten senses when converting admission scores
Reader T.C. T asked, according to the regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training in 2026, all admission methods will have to be based on the hierarchy to be converted to a unified 30-point scale. So how is hierarchy specifically understood?
The Ministry of Education and Training answers this question as follows:
In mathematics, percentile is a statistical measure used to determine the relative position of a value in an arranged data set, by dividing that data set into 100 equal parts.
This index reflects a percentage of values lower than or equal to a specific value. For example, a candidate achieving a score of 90 means that the candidate's score is higher than or equal to 90% of other candidates.
In admissions, the degree of merit is used as a tool to compare and convert exam scores between different methods, thereby bringing them to the same unified scale. See more...
