How Grade Calculation Works
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a weighted grade?
- A weighted grade gives different categories different importance. For example, if the final exam is 40% of your grade, it has more impact than homework at 20%.
- How do I calculate my grade with weights?
- Multiply each category score by its weight percentage, then add all the products together. For example: Homework (90%) × 20% + Midterm (75%) × 30% + Final (82%) × 50% = 81.5%.
- What happens if my weights don't add up to 100%?
- The calculator shows a warning and still displays a result, but it will be an incomplete estimate. Check with your instructor for the correct weights.
- How does extra credit affect my grade?
- Extra credit adds to your numerator (earned points or weighted score) without increasing the denominator. This can push your grade above 100%.
