Discern Score on MS Aptitude Test?

Hi all,

I'm wondering if any of you know how to decipher a score MS' aptitude test. I got my results back and for situational assessment, I got average (as likely as others to pick the option that leads to success) which is disappointing as I nailed (99th percentile) the situational assessment test for medical school. Apparently I took straightforward choices. However, for inductive and numerical reasoning I apparently scored "well above the requirements for the specific role applied to". 

Is this fluff to make candidates feel better like all rejection letters? Did I score "enough" on 2/3 of the sections? Do you need to score well above the requirements to even have a hope?

Thanks
