Is the test out of 100%?

I did a maths exam once where the top score possible was 120% (ironic!). The idea was you could ordinarily complete only enough to get 100%, but if you did complete more you got the marks for it.

Why don't they make it harder and differentiate more easily?

Was your test developed by Spın̈al Tap? What is the purpose for doing a test this way?
