top marks

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'best test result' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'spinner celebrates' is the wordplay.
'spinner' becomes 'top' (a spinning top).
'celebrates' becomes 'marks' (as in marking an anniversary).
'top'+'marks'='TOP MARKS'
