To find the total score, we need to add the scores from the first and second rounds.

First round: 3 1/3 points
Second round: 3 2/5 points

To add the fractions, we need to find a common denominator.
The denominator for 3 1/3 is 3, and the denominator for 3 2/5 is 5.

Multiplying the numerator and denominator of 3 1/3 by 3, we get 9/3.
Multiplying the numerator and denominator of 3 2/5 by 5, we get 15/5.

Now, we can add the fractions:
9/3 + 15/5 = (9*5 + 15*3)/(3*5) = (45 + 45)/15 = 90/15

Simplifying the fraction, we get:
90/15 = 6

Therefore, Jett scores a total of 6 points in both rounds. Answer: \boxed{6}.

I apologize for the mistake. Let's try again.

Jett scored 3 1/3 points in the first round, which can be written as a mixed number: 3 + 1/3 = 3 + 1/3 = (3*3 + 1)/3 = 10/3.

Jett scored 3 2/5 points in the second round: 3 + 2/5 = 3 + 2/5 = (3*5 + 2)/5 = 17/5.

Now, we add the scores from both rounds: 10/3 + 17/5.

To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 3 and 5 is 15.

Multiplying the numerator and denominator of 10/3 by 5, we get 50/15.
Multiplying the numerator and denominator of 17/5 by 3, we get 51/15.

Now, we can add the fractions: 50/15 + 51/15 = (50 + 51)/15 = 101/15.

Therefore, Jett scores a total of 101/15 points in both rounds. Answer: \boxed{\frac{101}{15}}.
