You can have a relative compaction value of greater than 100%. The maximum density test gives you a density that is the maximum value under that particular compactive effort. The modified proctor will give you a higher maximum density than the standard proctor test which has a lower energy input. The modified proctor attempts to model the energy input by larger compaction equipment. However, if you had a large piece of compaction equipment and/or compacted the soil in thin lifts repeatedly you could exceed the maximum density.
Typically, if you do not have an unusual circumstance (compacting very thin lifts a large amount of times) the higher than maximum density value is the result of a change in soil type. Do a new max if you are unsure on the soil that you tested in the field.

In a large class 80 students took a test when the test papers were rated it was found that 10 percent had A's 23 percent had B's 30 percent had C's15 percent had D's how many failed?
22% got F's (that is horrible)
How many points do you get on Mathematics if you get 100 percent in a test?
the maximum marks alloted for the test.
What is 80 percent on a math test?
80%=b-
If you missed 7 questions on a test and made 83 percent on the test how many questions where there?
41 questions (if you got 83 percent, then that means you got 34 questions right)
What is 87 percent on a test?
in Prince William county it would be a "B"
