Percentile means how many people are behind you. Or how many people have you beaten. It would not be more than 99.99% this is so because if you consider there 10000 participants in a exam and you top it, you defeated 9999. I.e. 9999/1000 * 100 = 99.99% .

Thanks for that! I understand that the percentile system tells you the number of people you're ahead of, but can it tell your rank from the top? Can you assume that a person who has the highest score has a percentile of 99.99 and the second highest has 99.98 or is that subject to the number of people appearing for the exam?
