How do you calculate your overall student average(Ontario, Canada)?
So far, I've added all my marks from my transcript and divided by the number of classes I've taken. Is this the correct way to calculate the student average? I'd like to know because I plan on applying to universities and I don't know what average they might be talking about. Is it overall student average or like the American GPA?

well...average is the assumed constant value for the total entries of the data...!! u just simply add the observations...divide by the number of observations....got the avarage...!! if u are asking about the average of many averages, do the same.....addd up the averages and divide by the number of averages....but all averages must be similar in concern and purpose....

Well, Universities usually look at your average from grade 12 and maybe grade 11.. Not your overall average from grade 9 - 12. So for your grade 11 average you'd add all 8 then divide by 8, same with grade 12. But you don't mix marks from one grade and another :) It's the same as the American GPA but theirs is done differently. So for example, if you've heard of Trent University.. they have a deal where if your average is 90% + then they pay your tuition. But the 90% average is only from your grade 12 year.
