step scores & percentiles

[ghanngmgirl]

I know that the 3-digit score and 2-digit scores are not to be used as percentiles... actually, the USMLE organizations states specifically on their website that there are no percentiles!

Some residency programs note that they require a score in the "80th" percentile to consider your application.

what gives? and how do i find out my percentile?
