it keeps on outputting"Fail" when it should actually output a grade

test_1 = int(input("Please enter the score for test 1  /100:"))
test_2 = int(input("Please enter the score for test 2  /100:"))
test_3 = int(input("Please enter the score for test 3  /100:"))
test_4 = int(input("Please enter the score for test 4  /100:"))
test_5 = int(input("Please enter the score for test 5  /100:"))

total = test_1 + test_2 + test_3 + test_4 + test_5
average = total/5

print ("The total score is", total)
print ("The average score is", average)

if average < 90 and average >= 100:
    print ("Grade 9 achieved")
elif average < 80 and average >= 90:
    print ("Grade 8 achieved")
elif average < 70 and average >= 80:
    print ("Grade 7 achieved")
elif average < 60 and average >= 70:
    print ("Grade 6 achieved")
elif average < 50 and average >= 60:
    print ("Grade 5 achieved")
elif average < 40 and average >= 50:
    print ("Grade 4 achieved")
elif average < 30 and average >= 40:
    print ("Grade 3 achieved")
elif average < 20 and average >= 30:
    print ("Grade 2 achieved")
elif average < 10 and average >= 20:
    print ("Grade 1 achieved")
else:
    print ("Fail")

My code works perfectly fine except from the fact that every time it runs, it outputs Fail even if the average score is above 10.

Your chain of ifs should be changed to: 1. Be logically correct. 2. Take advantage of previous ifs.

if average >= 90:
    print ("Grade 9 achieved")
elif average >= 80:
    print ("Grade 8 achieved")
elif average >= 70:
    print ("Grade 7 achieved")
elif average >= 60:
    print ("Grade 6 achieved")
elif average >= 50:
    print ("Grade 5 achieved")
elif average >= 40:
    print ("Grade 4 achieved")
elif average >= 30:
    print ("Grade 3 achieved")
elif average >= 20:
    print ("Grade 2 achieved")
elif average >= 10:
    print ("Grade 1 achieved")
else:
    print ("Fail")
