  1. AFQT scores are percentiles that are normalized to the 1997 American youth population.  For example, 
      a score of 92 represents the 92nd percentile and means that 92 percent of the youth population scored 
      at or below that score.  It is standard to report these AFQT score percentiles in the categories listed below.
Cat I:   100-93 Cat IIIB:   49-31
Cat II:   92-65 Cat IV:   30-10
Cat IIIA:   64-50 Cat V:   9-1
