Hi, What I mean is
1) I have a total score for each of 10 students.
2) I then want to have a TOTAL OF all these 10 total scores
So I wan to say something like
The final total score is the sum of the total score of each student.
I think this is wrong, so I am looking for a better option.
Thanks.

Small note: The total of totals is often called a "grand total".
The grand total (score) is the sum of the students' individual total scores.
(Introducing "each" complicates the matter unnecessarily in my opinion.)
