> How did you perform in mathematics at high school?
Predefined answers are "Top 0.01% in the region", "Top 5% at school", "Top 10% at school", etc.
> Please share your rationale or evidence for the high school performance selections above. Make reference to provincial, state or nation-wide scoring systems, rankings, or recognition awards, or to competitive or selective college entrance results such as SAT or ACT scores, JAMB, matriculation results, IB results etc. We recognise every system is different but we will ask you to justify your selections above.
These are required questions. Even if I were literally in high school, I'm not sure how I would be able to answer these. "Make reference to provincial, state or nation-wide scoring systems, rankings" - do these exist in the US? If they do I've never heard of them.
They name a couple, SAT and ACT are still the main ones. Some states like New York have the Regents Exam which would be a statewide score. Demanding those scores is still just about the dumbest fucking thing I've seen a tech company do.
I cannot possibly tell you how my UK school ranked in the 90s, how I ranked in any subject at the school, and especially how I would have ranked regionally.
This seems like such an insane thing to even know, let alone ask.
