3rd quartile = 75th percentile and so is "better".
In an exam, I guess. The percentile (as opposed to the percent) depends not only on your own performance, but also on the performance of other students. 80 percentile means that your grade is better than that of 80% of the other students.
A number does not have a quartile, a set of data does. The lower quartile of a set of data set is a value, in the data set, such that a quarter of the date set are smaller and three quarters are larger. The upper quartile is defined similarly. The middle quartile, better known as the median, divides the data set in two.
Median is found by the middle number in a sorted data set. So half of the numbers are greater than the median, and half are below the median. Quartile represents one fourth (or 25%) of the data set. They are usually labeled something like first, second, third, fourth (or sometimes top quartile, bottom quartile). For example, if 24 people are in a class and take a test. 24/4 = 6, so the top six grades would be in the top quartile (I don't remember if this is considered first or fourth). If you are in the top quartile, then you did better than at least 75% of the whole class. Since 24 is even, there is no 'middle number', so the arithmetic average of number 12 & 13 are taken to find the median.
90th percentile is simple another way of saying that 9% scored above and 90% scored below (the other 1% being the number 90). For example, if you take a type of standardized test in high school, if you do well, you are at the 90th percentile, meaning 90% of students scored lower than you and 9% scored better. You can not be in the 100% percentile, because you cannot score better than yourself.
No. While you may score 100% on any specific test or category, the 100th percentile is a theoretic equivalent of having reached infinity, meaning that there neither is nor could be a more substantial passing. To better understand, consider that there was 100th percentile, it would indicate that you had scored better than everyone else, leaving no room for anyone else to get 100%. As there obviously is still the possibility that someone else has scored 100% it eliminates anyone from actually attaining the 100th percentile accordingly. - BUT - keep trying.

What is mean deviation and why is quartile deviation better than mean deviation?
Quartiles in statistics are three values such that the lower quartile, second quartile (better known as the median) and upper quartile divide up the set of observations into four subsets with equal numbers in each subset.a quarter of the observations are smaller than the lower quartile,a quarter of the observations are between the lower quartile and the median,a quarter of the observations are between the median and the upper quartile, anda quarter of the observations are greater than the upper quartile,

A composite percentile score of 50 or better or verbal percentile score of 60 or better is required for the level exam taken. For students interested in the PN program, the score can be found under the "DI" column. For students enrolled in the ADN program, the score can be found under the "AD" percentile column.
A better tomorrow.
"Performing above the seventieth percentile" means to perform better than seventy percent of all people who took that particular test.
