Pseudocode for a CPP project

Question

I am trying to learn how to pseudocode. Could you please check my work and see if this is the correct way to develop a pseudo-code?

The problem is this:

"Write a program to ask the user for a series of test scores of students. The compute and print the test scores arithmetic mean for each student"

Here is my Pseudo-Code:

1. prompt user for studentNum

2. prompt for testNum

3. start while loop to collect data: while (i < studentNum)

   3.1 ask for studentName

   3.2 set sum to zero

   3.3 start second nested while loop while (j < testNum)

     3.3.1. ask user for the testScore
   
     3.3.2. collect data using sum variable.
   

   3.4 compute average by dividing sum by testNum

   3.5 display data in the format:

   "For " << studentName << "The average test score was: " << average

Thank you

This still looks a little too much like real code to me. There's no point in being too specific, you might as well write real code.

Instead of while i < studentNum, say repeat studentNum times.

Instead of output in the format ... << ... <<, say Display output like: For John Doe, average was 75.0.

Edit: here is full pseudocode that I would write:

• input n, the number of students
• input t, the number of tests per student
• for each student:
  • for each test, input and accumulate
  • divide this student's sum by number of tests
  • output like For John Doe, average was 75.0
