You can use this array formula. In the cell that you enter the formula, you'll need to confirm the entry with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER. This is assuming that the External Marks are in row 1. You would just enter the same formula for the Internal Marks, adjusting for the value location.

=SUM(LARGE(A1:F1,{1,2,3,4,5}))

It's the same formula, just adjust the row reference.
