> [@Gentility01](#): > > now i want to get the average of all the students and give them position based on the score they got. example a student with the highest score should have the first position. etc am just thinking on how i can do that You’ve got a couple different ways to do this. - Annotate each instance with the calculated scores and sort by that annotated value. (See [Aggregation | Django documentation | Django](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/topics/db/aggregation/)) - Process the queryset as a list in your code, add the calculated score as a new attribute of the instance, and then sort the list by that value. Technically, the first is going to be better performing because all the work will be done in the database. However, unless you’re talking about retrieving thousands of rows, you’re not going to notice a difference between the two. The second is likely to be easier since you will just be writing Python code to do this. ---

````auto def student_view_result_term(request, id): term = get_object_or_404(Term,id=id) student = get_object_or_404(Students, admin=request.user.id) results = StudentResult.objects.filter(term=term, student=student) number_of_subjects = Subjects.objects.filter(term_id=True).count() student_result_count = Students.objects.annotate(num_student=Count('studentresult')) student_result_count[0].num_student print(student_result_count) ``` this is what ive done and it is showing this when i try to print it out ''' , ]> ''' so sir please what can i do with this ```` ---

Before starting this project, did you work your way through either the [Official Django Tutorial](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/intro/tutorial01/) or the [Django Girls Tutorial](https://tutorial.djangogirls.org/en/)? If you haven’t, then you should go back now and work your way through them. If you have, then you want to review part 2. You need to be familiar with querysets - understanding what they are, and how you use them. Additional reading is also available at [Retrieving Objects](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/topics/db/queries/#retrieving-objects-1) and [QuerySet API reference | Django documentation | Django](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/ref/models/querysets/#queryset-api-reference) ---

I don’t have any specific resources to suggest or recommend - you might find some suitable options at [GitHub - wsvincent/awesome-django: A curated list of awesome things related to Django](https://github.com/wsvincent/awesome-django) ---

What you need to learn to get past your current level of understanding is covered by either of those two tutorials. There’s really not much I can do here that is better than what is provided there. And you need to _work_ your way through one of them, not just read them or copy/paste the code snippets. (There’s something about the process of physically typing in the code that enhances the learning process and improves comprehension and retention.)
