Drop Lowest Score Average Calculator

What this calculator does

Compare a five-score average before and after the single lowest percentage is removed. It performs only the arithmetic described on this page. Enter values from the same course, practice set, score report, or scoring scale so the result remains meaningful.

Formula and worked method

The calculator averages all five entered scores, removes one occurrence of the minimum score, and averages the remaining four. The result is recalculated immediately after you submit the form, and the displayed precision does not create extra certainty beyond the values entered.

How to use the result

1. Check the labels, score range, units, and grading or exam version.
2. Enter the requested values without mixing raw, percentage, percentile, and scaled scores.
3. Calculate once, then independently check the formula or source document.
4. Use the output to plan the next practice task or question for the responsible school or exam provider.

Limits, privacy, and official decisions

Use this only when scores have equal weight and the policy drops exactly one item. Point totals, different assignment weights, missed-work rules, and tied scores can change the official calculation. Exams.fit is an independent educational resource and is not affiliated with the named exam owner. The calculation runs in your browser, needs no external API, and this tool does not save the entered scores. Official score reports, transcripts, admission decisions, credit awards, certification decisions, and licensing results come only from the responsible organization.
