Your test result slip usually prints the class average and standard deviation. Leave a row blank to skip it.

The deviation score (hensachi) is 50 + 10 × (your score − average) ÷ standard deviation. 50 is the average, 60 is one standard deviation above. Everything is computed in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
A calculator for the Japanese deviation score (hensachi, 偏差値). Enter each subject's score, the class average and the standard deviation — the figures printed on a test result slip — and it computes the deviation score with the formula 50 + 10 × (score − average) ÷ standard deviation. The deviation score expresses your relative position with the average fixed at 50: 50 is exactly average, 60 is one standard deviation above, 40 is one below. It supports the five Japanese school subjects (Japanese, Math, English, Science, Social studies); leave a row blank to skip subjects you didn't sit, so it works for one subject or five. Subject names are editable, so it also fits mock exams or other subject sets. Alongside each subject's deviation score it shows the average deviation across the subjects entered, the total score and the sum of the averages, so students can quickly check how a regular or practice test went. Computing a deviation score needs the standard deviation as well as the score and average; it is usually printed on the result slip, and if not you can derive it from every classmate's score on the same test. Every calculation runs in your browser; the numbers you enter are never sent to any server or API.
How to use
- From your test result slip, enter each subject's score, the class average and the standard deviation.
- Leave a row blank for subjects you didn't take (they are excluded). Subject names can be renamed freely.
- It shows each subject's deviation score plus the average deviation and total score (nothing is sent).
FAQ
Are the scores I enter sent anywhere?
No. The deviation score calculation runs entirely in your browser. The scores, averages and standard deviations you enter are never sent to any server or API — everything stays on your device.
What is the formula?
Deviation score = 50 + 10 × (your score − average) ÷ standard deviation. Equal to the average is 50, one standard deviation above is 60, one below is 40. The tool applies this formula to the three values you enter.
What if I don't know the standard deviation?
The standard deviation is required for the deviation score. It is usually printed alongside the average on a test result slip, so check there first. If it isn't given, you can compute it yourself from every classmate's score on the same test — it can't be derived from one person's score and the average alone.
How is the average (5-subject) deviation calculated?
It is the mean of the deviation scores of the subjects you entered. Producing a single deviation score from the total would need the average and standard deviation of the totals separately, so this shows the easy-to-read average of the per-subject deviation scores instead.
