The formula
Worked example
78 + 85 + 66 + 45 + 92 = 366 marks out of 450. The percentage is 366 ÷ 450 × 100 = 81.33%. The best subject is the last one at 92% and the weakest is the third at 66%.
Understanding your result
Totals use marks, not an average of percentages, so a subject with higher maximum marks counts more. "Line 3" in the result means the third line of your list.
When to use it
- Find your board or semester percentage.
- See which subject needs improvement.
- Compare results across terms.
Assumptions and limits
Class bands are the common ones and may differ in your institution. Grace marks and best-of-five rules are not applied.
