what is the difference between percentile and percentage points pls help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A percentage is an absolute term If you received 80% on a test of one hundred questions you had 80 correct questions. A percentile tells you how you have done on a test in comparison to the others who took the test. A percentile of 80 means that you scored better than 79% of those who took the test./
