What is the major drawback of using percentile ranks to describe students' performance on a standardized test?
A) Students in the middle range can be quite similar in achievement and yet have scores that are somewhat dissimilar.
B) Percentiles prevent comparisons between students' own performance and that of classmates–comparisons that standard scores allow.
C) Because most students get fairly low scores, they become easily discouraged and their self-efficacy decreases.
D) Percentiles tend to underestimate how much students have actually learned.
