Have you ever scored 99th percentile in some activity

Have you ever scored in the 99th percentile in a test or an activity?

The topic came to mind today when I was reviewing my undergraduate GPA and was able to access the percentiles in my online student center.

The amount of days I ditched in high school were about 99% if that counts.

I think ALL of my ACT scores, including the composite were 98%. So close.
Still better than, well, statistically, almost everyone I know. Like I can tell you 90% of the people I asked have a composite ACT score under 26.

@aerial: Same here. It seems like companies value job experience and personal connections more than letter grades in the field I work in as well.

Nah, my brother got all the talent and intelligence. My sister and I are average at best (though my sister's great at fashion and stuff).

I can't even get into the 99th percentile being the one and only me in existence, let alone anything else. I'm like half the person I could be.

Nope. I got a 70% average this year... Luckily I major in an industry where employers do not give a crap about your grades at all.
