Are you required to use InputBox? Not sure why you are using ListBox for those things.

  1. Prompt user for French marks (handle invalid entries)
  2. Prompt user for German marks (handle invalid entries)
  3. Prompt user for Spanish marks (handle invalid entries)
  4. Add marks to ListBox
  5. Calculate percentage mark
  6. Display result

Note: Re-check your calculation. Consider displaying your message using a Label, MessageBox, etc.

Consider using a ComboBox for each mark type and populate it with numbers 1-30.

commented: Hey, i was asked by a teacher to use a listbox, anyways is that the pseudocode then yea? +0

You start by writing comments and putting them in your code. The comments should say what the code does, not how it does it. Then you remove the code. What's left is your pseudocode.
