Actually it places him in the bottom 20%. My point was, unless you know the range from top to bottom, 18 percentile could be more than adequate. Now if the scores range from 10-100, he would likely be in the teens which is concerning. Saying that, I always question these "silly season", unnamed source, last minute, nit pick comments.

It's like grading on the curve. The entire class could score over 90%, and some people with scores over 90% would fail. Like you said, it's hard to draw a conclusion without knowing the scoring range (or what they actually even test for).
