How the formula works
NTA percentile is not your percentage of correct answers. It is the percentage of candidates who scored equal to or below you. A 95 percentile means 95% of candidates scored at or below your marks. The formula Rank = ceil((1 − P/100) × N) gives the number of candidates who scored strictly above you.
