How exactly are averages calculated? Say, if I got 91% but my average is actually 91.78%, shouldn't my grade actually be 92%? (And no, I haven't actually got an average of 91% :p)

My experience with end-of-year marks and final degree marks is that marks are rounded to the nearest number e.g. 64.4 is rounded to 64 and 64.6 is rounded to 65.
