Test Statistics
To help you make your university choices, you may want to understand how your test result relates to overall candidate performance. You may also be interested to know how your score compares with those used by universities in previous years.
Mean scores can shift between testing years and so direct comparison is not always possible. The information below provides you with decile distributions.
In 2025, Abstract Reasoning has been withdrawn from the test.
