It’s a very human tendency to want to be recognized for one’s efforts.  For students, that would be making the honor roll or even getting the high score on an exam—even when that exam is the National Career Assessment Examination (NCAE).

 

For this particular exam, the highest possible score is 99+.  It’s interesting to note that there is an unofficial club based on it called “Club 99+”—a listing of all those who received this percentile ranking during an NCAE session.

 

As with any exclusive club, only a few students ever really find themselves in it.  Here’s another interesting tidbit: not all of the club members are from private schools.  That’s right:  an update on DepEd’s official website placed thirteen public school students as members of the elite club.  The number tends to vary per year—in fact, there was a time when only five students received the coveted score.

 

Here is a partial listing of students who have made it to Club 99+ in years past:
