How to calculate ICSE 10th Percentage

• ICSE Class 10 has 10 subjects in total, so one needs to reduce them to 6 main heads. 
• Like the English language and English literature are clubbed as one subject and the 'English marks' are actually the average of these two subjects. 
• Biology, Chemistry, and Physics marks are clubbed as 'Science'
• History and Geography are clubbed as 'Social Science'. 
• Other main subjects are Commerce, Hindi/ Regional language (second language), and Math.
• Out of these six subjects, English marks can't be skipped as it is a compulsory subject.
• While one needs to take the best four out of the five remaining subjects.
• This marking system is called as the 'best five system' for calculating the percentage.

Example of ICSE percentage calculation

• Supposedly you have the following marks in different subjects like English- 90, Hindi- 80, Math – 95, Science – 89, Social Studies -93, and the 6th subject marks for the Third Language paper is- 99. 
• The total marks add up to be 546/600
• Note that since the marks for Hindi subject are lowest so it won't be included while calculating the percentage. So, the total marks now become 466/500
• Thus your ICSE percentage comes to be 93.2%
• However, group 3 subjects like technical drawing, PE, computer applications, yoga, etc can not be included in the 5 subject list.
