Test Score Average Calculator
Average comparable test scores with equal weighting, or supply a matching list of non-negative weights.
How to use Test Score Average Calculator
1. Enter Scores %, Weights (optional) using the same scoring scale or point-total model. Leave weights blank for equal weighting. 2. Keep earned points and scores non-negative; enter a target between 0 and 100 where requested. 3. Select Calculate or press Enter to see average score. 4. Select Select Copy result to copy the answer or Reset to clear the form.
Why use this tool?
Combine test scores with equal weighting or matching relative weights on one common scale.
How the calculation works
Without weights, average = sum of scores ÷ number of scores. With weights, average = sum(score × weight) ÷ sum(weights). Weights must match the scores and have a positive total. Test grades can use assessment-specific boundaries, scaling or weighting. This page performs the stated arithmetic only; use the applicable marking policy when interpreting the result. Percentages, point gaps and differences use up to two decimal places; averages use up to three. Smaller nonzero results use six significant digits in scientific notation. Browser floating-point rounding applies. Numeric input and result magnitudes must not exceed 9,007,199,254,740,991. Score and weight lists support up to 20,000 entries.
Example
Scores % = 65,75,85, Weights (optional) = 1,2,1 gives “75”.
Practical tip
For assessments with different maxima, convert each score to the same percentage scale before averaging. To pool raw points, weight percentages by each assessment’s available points.
Frequently asked questions
Can I average raw marks from different maxima?
Only if you deliberately want that raw-score average. To compare performance fairly on a common scale, convert to percentages; the choice between equal and point-based weighting must match your grading policy.
What grading rules are assumed?
Test grades can use assessment-specific boundaries, scaling or weighting. This page performs the stated arithmetic only; use the applicable marking policy when interpreting the result.
Are extra credit and fractional points supported?
Non-negative fractional points are accepted. Supplied earned points or scores above the ordinary maximum can represent existing extra credit. Targets are limited to 0–100%; future target-score planning assumes at most the stated available points. The tool does not determine your grading policy.
