highest score
Best possible result
The highest score is the best or maximum result achieved in a game, test, or competition—the number that tops all others.
In gaming, the highest score often appears on leaderboards as the record to beat: She holds the highest score on that arcade machine.
In sports and academics, it marks peak performance: The highest score on the exam was 98.
