If you top the state, you definitely don't get 100. It doesn't work like that. And you definitely aren't guaranteed to jump to a near-100 UAI either. Both systems just don't work like that. You get the mark you deserve.

Scaling is affected by your school cohort doing the course more-so than your statewide position. I would talk to your Head School Admin/Dep Principal/Principal if you want more information about how all that works (they all know the ins and outs of it).

so 94= 1st in the state
and that will scale to a 83.6?
but isn't that an VET Subject wont have a scaled mark more than 90.0?

94 is the ALIGNED top
the SCALED top is 83.6
so, no, it doesn't scale >85
at least for last year
