The percentile rule is fixed, but the mark value attached to it is not. It depends on paper difficulty, the number of candidates and the score distribution of that cycle. That is why the 50th percentile equalled 162 marks in 2024, 144 in 2025 and 213 in 2026. Comparing raw marks across years without the percentile rule leads to a wrong conclusion.
