If Test #1 score is 60, what range would Test #2 score be expected to fall into according to the guideline that Test #2 should be 10-20% higher?

The idea is to apply a 10–20% increase to the initial score. A 10% increase on 60 is 6, giving 66, and a 20% increase on 60 is 12, giving 72. So the expected range is 66–72. Values below 66 are less than a 10% gain, and values above 72 exceed a 20% gain, which is why that range fits the guideline.
