Default How do I add the 9 highest numbers out of 12?

Each student gets to do 12 quizzes and only their best 9 scores will count
towards their final grade.

Is there a possible formula that can work out the 9 best scores out of the
12 in the range and then add them together?

Try the below with numbers in A1:A12

=SUM(LARGE(A1:A12,{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}))
