How does the percentile system work? Does the topper of LSAT India always get 99.99 percentile?

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?
