To calculate the ICSE percentage, students must follow the best of 5 rule. They have to choose the best 5 out of 6 subjects. Below, we have provided a general percentage calculation method students can follow to calculate their ICSE percentage.

• First, add all the top 5 scores.

• After that, divide the total by 5.
