i need to create a project that allows a teacher to enter three test scores for each of the three students.
the appliaction should calculate each students average test score and assign a letter grade based on the grading scale shown below.

average test score letter grade
90 or greater a
80 through 89 b
70 through 79 c
60 through 69 d
below 60 f

input boxes should be used for the following user input. the application should prompt the user for each students name and three scores.

Input Validation: Should be used on the test scores to assure they are valid. a negative number or character should not be accepted. only postive whole numbers less than or equal to 100 should be accepted.

Public Class frmGradeReport
    Private Sub BtnExit_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BtnExit.Click
        Me.Close()
    End Sub
    Private Sub btnEnterData_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnENterData.Click
        Dim Name As String
        Dim Score1 As Integer
        Dim Score2 As Integer
        Dim Score3 As Integer
        Dim Average As String
        Dim intcount As String
        Dim Test As Single



        Test = 3
        intcount = 0

        Do Until intcount = Test
            Name = InputBox("Enter student's name:", "Input Needed")
            Score1 = InputBox("Enter a test Score1:", "Input Needed")
            Score2 = InputBox("Enter a test Score2:", "Input Needed")
            Score3 = InputBox("Enter a test Score3:", "Input Needed")

            Average = (Score1 + Score2 + Score3) / 3

            If Average < 60 Then
                lstDisplay.Items.Add(Name + " " + "Average:" + Average.ToString() + " " + "Grade:" + " " + "E")
            ElseIf Average < 70 Then
                lstDisplay.Items.Add(Name + " " + "Average:" + Average.ToString() + " " + "Grade:" + " " + "D")
            ElseIf Average < 80 Then
                lstDisplay.Items.Add(Name + " " + "Average:" + Average.ToString() + " " + "Grade:" + " " + "C")
            ElseIf Average < 90 Then
                lstDisplay.Items.Add(Name + " " + "Average:" + Average.ToString() + " " + "Grade:" + " " + "B")
            ElseIf Average < 100 Then
                lstDisplay.Items.Add(Name + " " + "Average:" + Average.ToString() + " " + "Grade:" + " " + "A")
            End If

            intcount += 1
        Loop
    End Sub
End Class

any help would be appreciated thank you

What is your question exactly?

There is no distinct question.

Input Validation: Should be used on the test scores to assure they are valid. a negative number or character should not be accepted. only postive whole numbers less than or equal to 100 should be accepted.

From the above lines, it can be assumed that the question is "How could it check and validate the InputBox Return values?".
From my point of view, If I am right, it is a good question that how can you restrict, check the desired condition and also validate.

Your codes are quite right, but some modification is needed.
The inputbox for name is right.
But for scores, use of three inputboxs is too much straight forward. And if you try to check the validation for every inputbox you should get a lengthy codes and everytime check the invalid value and prompt to the user to re-enter the value is most boring work.
I have done some modification of your codes. It can help you to check the values of an InputBox Return value.
