Explanation

Scoring scales on a test are not necessarily linear, so do not line up the difference in percentiles with the difference in score; it is not possible to make any predictions about other percentiles.

For all you know, 750 could be the 95th percentile score—or 963 could be. All that is certain is that 25% of the scores are ≤ 450, while 50% of the scores are > 450 and ≤ 700, and 25% of the scores are > 700.
