The following values are assigned to student responses to calculate the mean score: Definitely agree (5); Mostly agree (4); Neither (3); Mostly disagree (2); Definitely disagree (1). See formula shown in cell C2 Calculation of % agree scores: The combined percentage of students responding “Definitely Agree” and “Mostly Agree”. See formula displayed in cell C3 All details regarding the Survey method, can be found under the “About the NSS” tab on the home page main menu.
