An entire distribution can often be reduced to a mean and standard deviation. A z-score uses that information to indicate the location of an individual score. Essentially, z-scores indicate how many standard deviations you are away from the mean. If z = 0, you’re at the mean. If z is positive, you’re above the mean; if negative, you’re below the mean. In practical terms, z scores can range from -3 to +3.
