Abstract  Assume the normalized maxima, from an independent and identically distributed sequence of random variables, converge in distribution to a non‐degenerate random variable with extreme value distribution G(x). We derive a pointwise rate for this convergence which holds for all n and x with G(x) > 0. A closer examination of this result suggests how a uniform rate can be obtained.
