Best Answer

Say you are in a class of 30 people and everyone just got the results back from a recent test. The teacher tells you that you got the highest score in the class, an 83 out of a possible 100 (tough class). You got 83 percent right on the test, but your score was in the 98th percentile, meaning you did better than 98% of your classmates...even though you actually did better than 100% of them.
