Why Overall Percent Needs Combined Totals
Averaging each subject’s percentage treats a 50-mark practical like a 100-mark theory paper. The correct overall percent is total obtained ÷ total maximum × 100.
Grace marks, best-of rules, and excluded internals change which rows belong. This tool only totals the papers you list.
How Hemiley Totals Marks
Each row adds obtained and maximum marks into running sums. Percentage is (sum obtained ÷ sum maximum) × 100.
A subject with zero maximum is rejected. Negative marks are not allowed.
