E-Litmus Ph Test - FAQ
This page consists of E-Litmus FAQ questions which we get through chat's and in mail. This will be updated frequently as we get new questions with the person name asking those different Questions.
1. What is a percentile? How is it different from percentage ?
Lot of candidates get confused between percentile to percentage. They are vastly different and a brief explanation is below.
Let us assume, Ram has scored 80th percentile in the pH test. It means 80% of pH test takers have scored less than him and 20% people more than him. Say there are 100000 test takers in an year. So 20% of candidates that is 20,000 in all are above Ram.

2. Can I take the pH test more than once?
There is no restriction/time gap on the number of times you can take the pH test. Your three latest scores will be visible to the companies. Typically the best of them will be considered for shortlisting. Every time you take up the test the required fee amount has to be paid.

3. What is the cutoff percentile to get interview calls?
Companies typically shortlist candidates for interviews on the basis of the skill sets required for the given job profile.
For every job, the eLitmus AI engine assigns a rank to each student based on the preferences of and the job profile set by companies. So it is possible that you might be ranked higher than your friend in company “A” but in company “B” your friend is ranked higher despite having a lower score.
This could be because Company A is engaged in R&D and hence gives higher weightage to individuals who have solved questions related to the following skills – out of box thinking, algorithmic thinking, simplification, relational thinking, encapsulation and abstraction. Company B might be engaged in providing software services work or QA work. And hence will give higher weightage to individuals who have solved questions related to the following skills – methodical approach, eye for detail, perseverance, patience etc.
