In Statistics, percentiles are a representation of the relative position of a particular value within a data set. For example, if your exam score is better than k% of the rest of the class. That means your exam score is at the kth percentile.
If your test score is at the 32nd percentile it can be interpreted as follows:
-Your test score is better than only 32 percent of the other scores recorded for the test.
-32 percent of the people who took the admission test have scores which are lower than yours.
