Find your rank from a list of scores in seconds. Paste a class list or import CSV, choose how ties are handled, and see your overall and section ranks. You can also compute weighted totals across subjects and estimate rank from percentile.

How It Works

We sort scores (higher-is-better by default), assign ranks using the ties method you choose (competition/dense/ordinal), and compute group ranks if a group column exists. For weighted subjects, we calculate a weighted total using percent weights or coefficients, then rank by the total. Percentile is computed as your relative position in the cohort.

Inputs Explained

  • Your Score vs Class Scores: Enter your score and paste or import the class scores list
  • CSV format: name,score,group (group is optional for section/class ranking)
  • Settings: Choose higher/lower-is-better, ties method, and weight type
  • Weighted mode: Define subjects with weights, then add candidates with scores
  • Percentile↔Rank: Map cohort size to rank or percentile arithmetically

Examples

Example 1 (Scores only, higher-is-better, competition ties)

Scores: 97, 94, 94, 91, 88, 85; Your score: 94

Sorted: 97(1), 94(2), 94(2), 91(4), 88(5), 85(6)

Your rank = 2/6; percentile ≈ 83.3%

Example 2 (Weighted: Math 50%, Physics 30%, Chemistry 20%)

Your scores: Math 92, Physics 81, Chemistry 87

Total = 92×0.5 + 81×0.3 + 87×0.2 = 46 + 24.3 + 17.4 = 87.7

Class totals computed similarly, then ranked using selected ties method

Tips & Notes

  • Choose ties method that matches your report (competition is common). Dense yields consecutive ranks with fewer "gaps."
  • For events like athletics or coding challenges with "lower-is-better," switch comparator.
  • Weighted mode lets you reflect subject importance via percent weights or coefficients.

FAQs

Competition: 1,2,2,4… Dense: 1,2,2,3… Ordinal: 1,2,3,4… even if scores tie.

Yes. Include a "group" column in your CSV (e.g., Section A/B), and the tool computes group ranks alongside overall.

Percent weights must sum to 100%. Coefficients can be any non-negative numbers—we normalize by Σweights.

Use the Percentile↔Rank tab with cohort size N to estimate expected rank.
