Hello,dear
Well, Percentile is a relative term not an absolute and everywhere it has same meaning, anyone scored 100 percentile doesn't mean he has score 100% marks, it means he has defeated 100% percent students. since you get 85 percentile means you have beaten 85% percent student out of total student .
Hope this will help you!!
