36 is the weighted score. The max score is 51 (though rumour has it that the max possible score is, in fact, 60)

so--> 36/51 is ur score in the test

45%ile is the percentile, i.e. percentage of test takers who scored less than you did

so the max score for q is 51. is there to find out how many question were wrong?
What's the point of counting points rather than actual questions?
How many score for V section?
Thanks,

because the test is adaptive i.e. questions become harder/ easier based on how u r faring in the test, hence basing the score on purely the number answered correctly/ incrrectly would be flawed.
