The Mathematics
Average = (Sum of All Marks) / (Number of Subjects)Add together all of your individual scores or marks to get a grand total, then simply divide that total by the number of scores you entered. This gives you the mean value.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is average the same as mean?
Yes, in this context, the "average" we calculate is the arithmetic mean. You sum up all values and divide by the count.
How does a zero affect my average?
A zero is counted as a score. It adds 0 to your total sum, but increases the "Number of Subjects" count by 1, which heavily dilutes your average. This is why missed assignments are so damaging to grades.
When should I use this instead of the weighted calculator?
Use this simple average calculator when all your tests or subjects hold the exact same importance (weight) in your final grade.
