top score

Leaderboard's first place

Top score is the highest score achieved in a game, competition, or test.

In video games, the top score—often called the high score—represents the best performance recorded, either by an individual player or across all players: She finally beat her top score on the arcade machine.

In sports or academics, it indicates the leading result: He earned top score on the exam.
