'You would have done better overall if you hadn't spent so long on the essay question.' overall = (adv) (1) including everything: 'How much will the holiday cost, overall?' (2) generally: 'Overall, the weather in this area is good.' overall = (adj) including everything: 'We're concerned about the overall effect of these films on younger viewers.' above all = most importantly: 'Get plenty of sleep, eats lots of good food, and above all try to relax.'
