How to calculate weighted grade average?

• First multiple the grade received by the weight of the assignment. Repeat this for each completed assignment.
• Then add each of the calculated values from step 1 together.
• Next add the weight of all the completed assignments together.
• Finally, divide the calculated value from step 2 above by the value calculated from step 3. This gives you the weighted grade average.

Weighted Grade Formula

Weighted Grade = (w 1 x g 1 + w 2 x g 2 + w 3 x g 3 + …) / (w 1 + w 2 + w 3 + …)

Example Calculation

Here is an example. Let's say you received a 90% on your first assignment and it was worth 10% of the class grade. Then let's assume you took a test and received an 80% on it. The test was worth 20% of your grade.

To calculate your average grade, follow these steps:

• Multiple each grade by its weight. In this example, you received a 90% on the first assignment and it was worth 10%. So multiply 90 x 10 = 900. You also received an 80% on the test and it was worth 20% of the class grade. So multiply 80 x 20 = 1600.
• Add the calculated values from step 1 together. We now have 900 + 1600 = 2500.
• Add the weight of all the completed assignments together. To do this, add 10% for the first assignment and 20% for the second assignment. That gives us 10 + 20 = 30.
• Finally, divide the value from step 2 by the value from step 3. That gives us 2500 / 30 = 83.33. Therefore our weighted grade average is 83.33%.

Brief history of different grading systems

In 1785, students at Yale were ranked based on "optimi" being the highest rank, followed by second optimi, inferiore (lower), and pejores (worse). At William and Mary, students were ranked as either No. 1, or No. 2, where No. 1 represented students that were first in their class, while No. 2 represented those who were "orderly, correct and attentive." Meanwhile at Harvard, students were graded based on a numerical system from 1-200 (except for math and philosophy where 1-100 was used). Later, shortly after 1883, Harvard used a system of "Classes" where students were either Class I, II, III, IV, or V, with V representing a failing grade. All of these examples show the subjective, arbitrary, and inconsistent nature with which different institutions graded their students, demonstrating the need for a more standardized, albeit equally arbitrary grading system.

In 1887, Mount Holyoke College became the first college to use letter grades similar to those commonly used today. The college used a grading scale with the letters A, B, C, D, and E, where E represented a failing grade. This grading system however, was far stricter than those commonly used today, with a failing grade being defined as anything below 75%. The college later re-defined their grading system, adding the letter F for a failing grade (still below 75%). This system of using a letter grading scale became increasingly popular within colleges and high schools, eventually leading to the letter grading systems typically used today. However, there is still significant variation regarding what may constitute an A, or whether a system uses plusses or minuses (i.e. A+ or B-), among other differences.

An alternative to the letter grading system

Letter grades provide an easy means to generalize a student's performance. They can be more effective than qualitative evaluations in situations where "right" or "wrong" answers can be easily quantified, such as an algebra exam, but alone may not provide a student with enough feedback in regards to an assessment like a written paper (which is much more subjective).

Although a written analysis of each individual student's work may be a more effective form of feedback, there exists the argument that students and parents are unlikely to read the feedback, and that teachers do not have the time to write such an analysis. There is precedence for this type of evaluation system however, in Saint Ann's School in New York City, an arts-oriented private school that does not have a letter grading system. Instead, teachers write anecdotal reports for each student. This method of evaluation focuses on promoting learning and improvement, rather than the pursuit of a certain letter grade in a course. For better or for worse however, these types of programs constitute a minority in the United States, and though the experience may be better for the student, most institutions still use a fairly standard letter grading system that students will have to adjust to. The time investment that this type of evaluation method requires of teachers/professors is likely not viable on university campuses with hundreds of students per course. As such, although there are other high schools such as Sanborn High School that approach grading in a more qualitative way, it remains to be seen whether such grading methods can be scalable. Until then, more generalized forms of grading like the letter grading system are unlikely to be entirely replaced. However, many educators already try to create an environment that limits the role that grades play in motivating students. One could argue that a combination of these two systems would likely be the most realistic, and effective way to provide a more standardized evaluation of students, while promoting learning.

    How to calculate your grade

With the help of this grade calculator you can calculate your current weighted grade or unweighted grade in terms of percentage, letter grade, or GPA. The tool will also output the weight of all remaining exams, and assignments and has the option of calculating the minimum score you need to obtain on a final exam in order to achieve a target overall grade for a class or course.

To use the calculator, enter the number of grades you currently have, then each grade as a percent or letter grade , and finally the weight each grade adds towards the overall. If no weights are entered, the weights are assumed equal and the calculator will output the unweighted average grade. Otherwise a weighted average grade will be produced in terms of percentage, GPA, and a letter grade.

    What grade do I need on my final?

If you haven't yet got a score on the final exam for a given class, you can use this tool as a final grade calculator. In order to achieve a given grade goal for the entire class, course, or semester, a given minimum grade is required on the final exam, depending on both the weighted average grade to that date, and the weight of the final on the overall grade. This minimum required score can be calculated using the following formula:

Required final score = (Grade Goal - Current Grade x (100% - Weight of Final(%))) / Weight of Final(%)

The current grade is calculated based on the weighted average of all marks to date. The weight of the final test is calculated as 100% minus the combined weight of all grades to date. Therefore, if the combined weight of the scores you enter is 65% then the final exam will have a weight of 100% - 65% = 35%.

    How to convert a grade to percentage?

Our grade calculator uses the following table to convert letter grades to percentages. Note that since this is not a universally applicable table, ideally one would want to know the exact percentage scores and use these as input for the calculator, otherwise the results may be slightly off.

Again, it is our recommendation that you check with your local school or college and enter percentage grades instead of letter grades for the most accurate calculation. Note that while U.S. colleges and schools are likely to use the above grading, educational institutions in other countries may use a vastly different GPA scale.

What is a Grade Calculator?  

A Grade Calculator is a free online tool designed to help students and educators determine academic grades based on entered scores and weights. It simplifies the process of calculating current grades, helping users navigate their academic journeys.   

The Grade Calculator helps students estimate the impact of each assignment on their course’s weighted average grade. That means the overall grade of a course depends on 2 main factors: the grade of each assignment (g) and the corresponding weight of each assignment (w).  

A Grade calculator helps you find your current average score in a course based on completed assignments up to the current point in the semester. The Final grade calculator then calculates the score you need to achieve in your remaining assignment (the final exam) to reach your desired grade of the course

How to Use a Grade Calculator?  

Using a Grade Calculator is a straightforward process that involves entering relevant information about your academic performance. To utilize this calculator, input your current percentage for each assignment, test, or exam, along with its respective weight towards your final grade. For each additional assignment, test, or exam, click on "Add Assignment." Your results will automatically update as you input each component , allowing you to track your progress throughout the course.  

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to use a Grade Calculator:  

Step 1: Input the Assignments.  

Users manually enter the name of each assignment, for example: Assignment 1, 2, 3, Homework, Final Exam, etc.  

Step 2: Input the grade.  

Enter their scores for each assignment, test, project, or other exam throughout the course. Each entry typically includes the earned percentage (10%, 30%, 50%, etc.), letter (A+, B-, D, etc.), or points (20, 50, 175, etc.).  

Step 3: Input the weight.  

Enter the weight of that assignment into the overall course grade. The weight indicates that different assignments may have varying impacts on the final grade. A final exam might have a higher weight than a small task.  

Step 4: Calculate the grade automatically.  

The tool then automatically calculates the cumulative grade based on the entered grades and weights. Users can see their current grade as well as how each assignment contributes to the overall grade.  

Step 5: Adjust as needed.  

Users can adjust grades or weights to see how changes impact the overall course performance. This dynamic feature allows for real-time exploration of different scenarios, helping users make informed decisions about their academic strategy and goal achievement.  

Weighted Grade Calculation: Formula and Example  

The calculation of a weighted grade involves summing the products of the weights (w) and the corresponding grades (g).  

Weighted Grade = (w₁ × g₁ + w₂ × g₂ + w₃ × g₃ + …) / (g₁ + g₂ + g₃ +...)  

Example 1: Grade type: Percentage  

Determine the weighted grade of a course, in which:  

• Assignment with a grade (percentage) of 80 and a weight of 30.  
• Homework with a grade (percentage) of 90 and a weight of 20.  
• Final exam with a grade (percentage) of 72 and a weight of 50.  

The weighted average grade is determined by the formula:  

Weighted Grade = (w₁ × g₁ + w₂ × g₂ + w₃ × g₃ + …) / (w₁ + w₂ + w₃+...)  

Substituting the values:  

Weighted Grade = (30 × 80 + 20 × 90 + 50 × 72) / (30 + 20 + 50) = 78  

Example 2: Grade type: Letter  

• Assignment 1 with a grade (letter) of A+ and a weight of 20.  
• Assignment 2 with a grade (letter) of B and a weight of 20.  
• Final exam with a grade (letter) of C- and a weight of 60.  

The weighted average grade of the course is calculated by the formula:

Weighted Grade = (w₁ × g₁ + w₂ × g₂ + w₃ × g₃ + …) / (w₁ + w₂ + w₃ +...)  

Weighted Grade = (20 × 4.33 + 20 × 3.00 + 60 × 1.67) / (20 + 20 + 60) = 2.64   

The table below shows how your letter grades convert to a numeric grade (4.0 scale) and percentage grade (% scale):  

Example 3: Grade type: Point  

Consider the following case:  

• For Assignment 1, the grade is 60 out of 80.  
• For Assignment 2, the grade is 30 out of 50.  
• For Homework, the grade is 120 out of 120.  
• For the Final exam, the grade is 60 out of 100.  

The formula to calculate the weighted average grade is:  

Weighted Grade = sum of real grade / sum of maximum grade  

Weighted Grade = (60 + 30 + 120 + 60) / (80 + 50 + 120 + 100) = 77.14  

Important Role of the Grade Calculator in Academic Path  

The Grade Calculator functions as a flexible tool that aids both educators and students, fostering efficiency and transparency. Knowing the average grade is essential for strategic decision-making in scenarios and setting achievable academic goals.  

Scenario Planning:  

Some Grade Calculators allow users to experiment with different scenarios. For instance, students can input hypothetical scores for future assignments or exams to see how they would impact their final grade. This helps in understanding how adjustments to upcoming assessments may impact the overall class performance.  

Teachers can use a Grade Calculator to streamline the grading process. By inputting scores and weights, the tool can quickly calculate overall grades, saving time and ensuring accuracy.  

Goal Setting:    

Users can set grade goals and determine the scores needed on upcoming assessments to achieve those goals. This application is particularly helpful for students who aim for a specific final course grade. Goal-setting helps students set realistic academic goals and understand the scores needed to achieve them. Knowing their current grade and having the ability to plan for future assessments can reduce stress for students.  

The Grade calculator provides the average score for a specific course. Students can use this result to calculate their GPA, which represents the average score across all their courses. In essence, the output from the Grade calculator acts as the input for the GPA calculator.

Grade Calculator - FAQs  

What grade do i need to pass a college class  .

The grade needed to pass a college class varies depending on the grading system used by the schools, colleges, and academic institutions . In many cases, a passing grade is a D or higher, which is usually equivalent to a numerical grade of 60% or more. However, some programs or courses may require a higher minimum passing grade, so it's important to check your college's policies.  

How do you calculate the percentage grade?  

To calculate a percentage grade, you divide the points earned by the total points possible and then multiply by 100. For example, if you earned 85 points out of a possible 100, your percentage grade would be: (85/100) * 100 = 85%.  

How much will a 0 affect my grade?  

A zero can significantly impact your grade, especially if it's for a major assignment or test. Since a zero has a large weight in the calculation of your average score, it can pull down your overall grade significantly.  

How much will a 71 affect my grade?  

The impact of a 71 on your grade depends on several factors, such as the weight of the assignment or test in the overall course grade and the grading scale used by your instructor. If the 71 is for a major assignment or test and carries a significant weight in the course, it could have a noticeable effect on your overall grade, potentially lowering it. However, if the assignment is one of many and has a lower weight in the course, its impact may be less significant.

How to Calculate Weighted Grade?

To calculate a weighted grade, you need to assign different weights or percentages to each assignment. Such as projects, midterms, homework, and quizzes, and then multiply the grade earned in each assignment by its corresponding weight. Finally, add up these weighted grades and divide them by the sum of weights to obtain an overall weighted grade.

Here's an example:

Suppose there are three categories of assignments:

• Projects (weight of 35%)
• Midterms (weight of 40%)
• Homework (weight of 25%)

A student earns the following grades in each category:

• Projects - 75%
• Midterms - 90%
• Homework - 82%

Weighted grade = (project grade × 35%) + (midterm grade × 40%) + (homework grade × 25%) / 35 + 40 + 25

= (75 × 35) + (90 × 40) + (82 × 25) / 100

= (2625 + 3600 + 2050) / 100

= 8275 / 100

Therefore, the student's overall weighted grade for the course is 82.75% .

What are Weighted Grades?

In both high school and college, classes typically employ a 'weighted' system where groups of similar assignments (homework, quizzes, tests, etc.) are worth varying amounts of your overall grade.

What this means is that 10 points scored on a quiz is not always equal to 10 points scored on a homework assignment. At the end of the semester your instructor will add up all the points for each group of assessments, and then 'weight' them accordingly. This will provide the final grade you receive at the end of a semester.

How to Calculate a Weighted Grade

Understanding how to calculate a weighted grade is essential for both students and educators. In many educational settings, not all assignments or exams carry the same importance in the overall class grade .

Some might be worth more of the overall grade than others. For instance, a final exam often contributes more to a final grade than a single homework assignment. This is referred to as a weighted grade .

A weighted grade is essentially a weighted average , and you can calculate it using a formula based on the weighted average formula.

Weighted Grade Formula

To calculate a weighted grade, you can apply the weighted average formula:

Thus, a weighted grade is equal to the sum of the products of each grade and its weight, divided by the sum of the weights.

The total weight is typically the sum of all weights, which often equals 1 (or 100% if you’re working in percentages).

For example, let’s consider a student who has taken three tests in a course. The first test is worth 30% of their final grade, the second test is worth 40%, and the third is worth 30%.

Let’s say the student scored 80% on the first test, 90% on the second, and 85% on the third. Here’s how you’d calculate the weighted grade:

Thus, the student’s weighted grade is 85.5%.

Missing Grades Make the Math More Complicated

The reason we need these calculators, 6 ways to evaluate student progress, grade calculators: useful tools to show you what you've accomplished and help plan your next move.

A weighted grading calculator can be a lifesaver for students who need to know where they stand at any point in the grading period. These convenient programs save time and give students and teachers quick, accurate information. But what is it they do? This article will investigate what functions grade calculators perform, how they operate, and why we have grades in the first place.

Where You Are and How to Get Where You're Going

The three calculators above can help teachers and students answer urgent questions about grades in seconds. First, the Grade Calculator computes a weighted average for any course, accepting both number and letter grades.

In addition, the Final Grade Planning Calculator displays the grade needed on outstanding assignments to reach a target final grade. Also, the Final Grade Calculator determines what a student needs to score on their final exam to reach their target final grade.

Compared to the normal average, a weighted average requires more calculations. When you figure out a weighted average, the many numbers you use are given varying weights or values in relation to one another. This phenomenon occurs in most high-school and college courses, where different assignment types are worth different percentages of the final grade. A course grade calculator makes finding weighted averages quick and accurate.

In addition, many students become concerned near the end of a quarter, semester, or year. They often worry that they will not get a good grade, but they can rely on a Final Grade Planning Calculator to tell them how to perform to reach their desired goal.

Similarly, students often need to achieve a specific score on their final project or exam to get the desired grade. In this case, a Final Grade Calculator lets them know how hard they must work to get where they need to go.

Suppose a grading period is over and all grades are accounted for. In that case, a student can use the Grade Calculator to ensure the teacher made no mathematical errors. In this example, the student enters each assignment, grade, and weight into the calculator.

After clicking "Calculate," the Grade calculator provides a numerical and letter grade.

Average Grade: 87.7 (B+)

Provided there are still grades or categories outstanding, enter the target final grade and the weight percentage weight of the outstanding assignments.

After hitting "Calculate," the Final Grade Planning Calculator will display the current weighted average and the score required on outstanding work to achieve the desired final grade.

• Average grade: 85.0 (B).
• A grade of 95.0 is needed for the remaining 30% of tasks to ensure a final grade of 88.

When all grades other than the final exam are accounted for, enter the current weighted average grade, target grade, and final exam weight in the Final Grade Calculator. Click the Calculate button.

• Your current grade: 79
• The grade you want: 85
• Your final is worth: 35%

The Final Grade Calculator will display the final exam grade necessary to attain the desired final grade.

Result You will need a grade of 96.1 or higher on the final.

Weighted averages include numbers with different abilities to skew the average—thus the term "weighted." Unfortunately, many students (and some teachers!) don't understand how to calculate grades using weighted averages because they require more calculations than simple ones.

Suppose you're attempting to figure out your grade in a class where different assignments are worth varying percentages of your final grade. In that case, you might need to determine a weighted average. Whether the sum of your weights equals 1 (or 100%) will affect the method you employ.

It's Pretty Simple When You Have All the Data

To calculate a weighted average where the total weights equal 1, multiply each grade by its corresponding weight and add them all up. Rendered mathematically: g1(w1) + g2(w2) + g3(w3), and so on, where g is each grade and w is the corresponding weight. Of course, most syllabi list weights as percentages, so you will need to convert them into decimals first. For example, 25% equals 0.25; therefore, 100% equals 1.

The math is slightly different when some grades are missing, and the total weights equal less than one. This happens when you use the Final Grade Planning Calculator to determine your current weighted average and the score needed on the outstanding work to get the final grade you want.

Mathematically, you would figure out the weighted average the same way. However, you need to take the sum of each grade (weight) and divide it by the total weight of the known grades (in decimal form).

The formula would be Σgw/Σw where Σgw is the sum of each grade (weight) and Σw is the sum of all weights in decimal form.

The complexity of these calculations makes a weighted grade calculator a lifesaver for students.

Grading is a comparatively recent invention. Since 1785, students at Yale have been receiving the Latin equivalents of the words best (optimi), worse (inferiores), and worst (peiores). So, Yale was the first university in the United States to assign grades.

Before that, American colleges followed the Oxford and Cambridge models, which required frequent attendance at lectures and a weekly dialogue between the student and their proctor, both in person and in writing.

When the proctor or panel of other professors thought the students had shown an appropriate grasp of the subject, the course was declared complete. The faculty gave no grade. A prospective employer could only compare a student's qualifications through reference letters.

Universities experimented with a wide variety of systems during the 19th century. For example, Yale used scales ranging from four to nine points. The professors at Harvard experimented with 20 and 100-point scales before deciding that grouping students into five classes, with the lowest class failing the course, was the best they could do.

To assist professors in evaluating students, William and Mary public research University in the U.S. used the categories: "orderly, accurate, and attentive" or "they have learned little or nothing."

Because of the significant increases in immigration and the emergence of regulations requiring compulsory attendance, schools were overcrowded at the beginning of the 20th century. As a result, teachers and administrators needed an effective, standardized method for testing and grading many pupils. These circumstances naturally led to the nationwide standardization of school grading.

Our calculators use the percentages and letter grades common in the U.S. However, there are many other ways to assess student progress. Here is a quick list of common grading alternatives:

• A percentage ranging from 0% to 100%.
• Letter Grades with Variations (A, C+, B-).
• Standard-Based. Students receive marks relative to specific knowledge in the curriculum.
• Mastery-Based Grading. Students have the time to master a skill before moving to another.
• Narrative-Based Grading. Students receive lengthy written feedback about their performance in class.

It may seem that the student grading system has been around forever. However, before the 20th century, the grading systems we now know did not exist.

We still worry about how to determine our grades when each type of assignment has its own "weight." We wonder what we need to get on the final exam to pass.

Our grade calculator can't give you the knowledge to handle every assignment. But he can reassure you by telling you where you are and what results you need to achieve.

Weighted Grade Calculator

Your Grade Average:

One valuable tool that has emerged to help students understand their academic progress as they navigate the challenges of today’s education is the weighted grading system. Weighted grades simplify the grade calculation process, as well as provide a deeper understanding of student performance. In this article we will explore its importance and benefits.

Importance of Weighted Grades Calculator

Assignments and courses vary in complexity and importance, and are taken into account when calculating a weighted grade. Unlike traditional grading systems that treat all tasks equally, weighted grading gives more value to the most important tasks. For example, final exams can be more burdensome than homework. This gives us a good picture of the student’s overall performance.

Weighted Grade Formula

Use the Weighted Grade Calculator to calculate the weighted grade by multiplying each assignment by its weight, adding these ratios, and dividing by the total weighted score

Using the above formula you can get a weighted grade as follows: (Score1 * Weight1 + Score2 * Weight2 + … + ScoreN * WeightN) / Total Possible Weighted Score

The formula is as follows:

• Score1, Score2, …, ScoreN represent the scores obtained for each task.
• Weight1, Weight2, …, WeightN represent the weight assigned to each activity or item. This weight is usually a percentage that totals 100%.
• The weightable score is the sum of all weights (usually 100%).

Here is an example to illustrate.

A student has three projects containing the following information.

• Assignment 1: Score = 90, Weight = 20%
• Assignment 2: Score = 85, Weight = 30%
• Assignment 3: Score = 95, Weight = 50%

Here is the formula:

• Weighted Grade = (90 * 0.20 + 85 * 0.30 + 95 * 0.50) / 100
• Weighted Grade = (18 + 25.5 + 47.5) / 100
• Weighted Grade = 91 / 100
• Weighted Grade = 0.91

By multiplying the weighted grade by 100, you can convert it to a percentage:

Percentage of grades based on weighted average = 0.91 * 100 = 91%

In this example, the student would receive a weighted grade of 91%.

Important Notes

You can use our grade calculator to calculate the final exam grade you will need to achieve the overall course grade you desire. Our calculator requires you to enter the current percentage grade you have currently obtained for that course together with the weight of the final exam as a percentage value. However, if you do not know what your current grade is, for the question "Do you know your Current Grade?" select the answer "no." Enter the grades you have received for all of your assignments, homework, test, labs, and anything else that contributes to your final grade, as well as the weight of each grade. Our grade calculator will automatically calculate not only your current grade but the grade you need to achieve on your final exam to achieve the overall course grade you desire. In addition, both the minimum and maximum course overall grades will be provided.

Once you have entered the information required, the system will generate both a table and a chart that show the different final exam grades you may obtain as well as the overall course grades that go with them.

Inputting Data in our Grade Calculator

When entering your current grade and the weight of your final exam, our calculator will assume that your current grade has been based on the weight of the course prior to your final exam and calculates it as the input weight subtracted from 100%. If your current grade hasn't taken your coursework into account, the generated results will not be accurate.

Similar to the above, if you don't know what your current grade is and you enter both the coursework grades and the associated weights into the calculator, the calculator will automatically calculate your current grade and the weight of the final exam. In this situation, the weight of your final exam is calculated by taking the sum of the weight of your course work subtracted from 100%. With that in mind, if you enter too many or not enough assignments, the weight of the final exam that is calculated will most likely not match the actual weight of the final exam in your chosen course.

- What is the plus and minus grading scale and how does it affect my GPA?

This is a question I'm often asked by students, so I have written a short paper to demonstrate how I determine minimum percentages when using the plus and minus grading scale.

Using the Plus and Minus Grading Scale

The problem.

In the Fall 2008 semester, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences added grades with pluses and minuses (A–, B+, etc.) to its list of available grades. (Such grades had been available in some schools at KU previously, but not in the College.) Here are the web pages stating the KU and CLAS grade lists: http://www.registrar.ku.edu/~registr/transcript/overview.shtml http://www.collegesas.ku.edu/policies/GPA.shtml

When the only grades were A, B, C, D, and F, it was pretty easy to come up with a final grade calculator, and it was easy for me to show students how to calculate grade percentage. For example, I usually used the following grading scale:

With the introduction of pluses and minuses, minimum percentages need to be determined for a much longer list of grades, as shown in table 2. (For now I’ll assume the possibility of A+, even though it is not an available grade at KU, and then I’ll adjust for its absence at the end.)

My Solution

If you think of the new grading scale as dividing each of the old grades’ ranges into three smaller ranges (e.g., the A range gets divided into ranges for A+, A, and A–), it seems logical to think that the minimum percentage for an A– under my new grading scale should be the same as the minimum percentage for an A under my old grading scale, that the minimum percentage for a B– under my new grading scale should be the same as the minimum percentage for a B under my old grading scale, and so on. So I can partially fill in my table as follows:

Now, I’d like for the other minimum percentages to be based on KU’s grade-point conversion scale:

Notice, though, that there is a structural mismatch between tables 1–3 and table 4. The former were concerned with minimum values, and the latter is concerned with middle values (e.g., 3 grade points goes with the middle of the B range—it has nothing to do with the bottom of the B range). So, to use KU’s grade-point conversion scale to figure out my new percentage-based grading scale, I need to pay attention to middle percentages, not minimum percentages. My old grading scale had 95 in the middle of the A range, 85 in the middle of the B range, and so on. I’ll keep these as the middle percentages in my new grading scale:

Now, to fill in the other percentages using KU’s grade-point conversion scale, I’ll assume that the relative spacing of the grades on KU’s grade-point conversion scale should dictate the relative spacing of the grades’ middle percentages on my grading scale. I’ll start with the B+. Since a B+ is worth 3.3 grade points, and 3.3 is 30 percent of the way from a B (3.0) to an A (4.0), I want to know what number is 30 percent of the way from an 85 to a 95. That number, of course, is 88. So, that should be the middle percentage for a B+. By similar reasoning (working with 3.7 grade points for an A–), the middle percentage for an A– should be a 92. Filling in the other values analogously, I have the following:

With these middle values determined, all I need to do to figure out the corresponding ranges is to figure out the midpoints that lie between consecutive numbers:

Now, there are just a couple of further decisions I have to make. First, what should the threshold between D– and F be? For consistency with my old grading scale and for consistency between D– and the other minus grades under my new grading scale, I’ll make it 60.

Second, should a student whose percentage is equal to a threshold percentage get the letter grade just above it, or just below? For reasons of charity, I prefer to award the letter grade just above it. So, these thresholds are actually the minimum percentages for the grades just above them. That means that I can completely fill in the “minimum percentage” table I started with, but couldn’t get very far with at the time (table 3):

So that’s the way I would assign letter grades, under a complete plus/minus system. KU’s grading system, however, maxes out at A; there is no A+. So I need to make an adjustment. One way of handling this is to enlarge the intervals associated with each of the eleven remaining passing grades (A down to D–). But that would violate a lot of the constraints I’ve operated with so far, as well as being a mess.

A second option is to proportionally enlarge the intervals associated with A and A–, so that 90 remains the minimum value for A–, with 95 being the new minimum value for A. This, however, would make the unavailability of the A+ grade result in a disproportionately high percentage required in order to get an A. I think that would make A’s harder to get than they should be. A third option, my preferred one, is just to absorb the values associated with A+ into the range for A. So, the minimum value for an A would remain 93.5, and anything above that (up to 100, or higher, for that matter) would still be an A:

So those are the minimum percentages I use. In most courses, I grade individual assignments on a scale of 0 to 100, and then at the end of the semester I use Blackboard or Excel to compute each student’s final average to the nearest hundredth of a percentage point. So, in practice, my grading scale is as follows:

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, considered by itself. But it reflects the fact that the grade points aren't themselves evenly spaced: there's a difference of 0.3 between some pairs of consecutive grade points (e.g., 3.0 and 3.3), but a difference of 0.4 between some others (e.g., 3.3 and 3.7). If the grade points were more evenly spaced (e.g., 3.00, 3.33, 3.67, etc.), then the mathematical technique used above (the one used to fill in table 6) would yield more equally sized percentage-point ranges for the letter grades.

No—the grades available in a grading system don’t need to be equally spaced along whatever numerical scales (e.g., grade points or percentages) they can be correlated with.

Those numbers do seem more intuitive, but they can have some counter-intuitive consequences. To see this, suppose that, partway through the semester, a student is right in the middle of the B+ range, with an average of 88.33 (which is halfway between 86.67 and 89.99). She works hard to raise her average by 3.33 percentage points, to 91.66, which is right in the middle of the A– range (it's halfway between 90.00 and 93.33). For her efforts, she is rewarded with an extra 0.4 grade points (3.7 grade points for an A– instead of 3.3 grade points for a B+). But now suppose this same student had been right in the middle of the B range, with an average of 85. Then her 3.3-percentage-point increase would have resulted in a final average of 88.33 (right in the middle of the B+ range, as we saw above). Then, her reward for her efforts would have been only 0.3 grade points (3.3 grade points for a B+ instead of 3 grade points for a B). It seems odd that the reward a student gets for raising her grade by a certain number of percentage points should depend, in this way, on where she started. My grading scale doesn't allow this to happen, since it makes the distance from the middle to the B+ range to the middle of the A– range larger than the distance from the middle of the B range to the middle of the B+ range.

Here's another way of looking at this issue. When thinking about pluses and minuses, it is natural to take ⅓ as the default plus/minus increment: grade points would be raised and lowered by this amount, we would use percentages like 83⅓ and 86⅔, and so on. When this default is deviated from, as with our plus/minus increment of 0.3, the percentages need to be adjusted accordingly. Under the default system, a student with an 85—in the middle of the B range—would need to raise her average by 1⅔ percentage points in order to get a B+. Her reward would be an extra ⅓ grade points. If her reward is going to be less than that, then the extra work she has to do should be less, too. Specifically, if her reward is going to be only 0.3 grade points, then the extra percentage points she needs should be 1⅔ times the ratio of 0.3 to ⅓. That ratio is 0.9, and 1⅔ times 0.9 is 1½. Hence my B+ threshold of 86½ rather than 86⅔.

Keep track of your grades to maximize your chances of academic success. You can use our grade calculator to quickly find out your current course grade and know where you stand.

If you need to know which grade you need on your final exam, for example, you can use our calculator.

As we all know

Step-by-Step Tutorial

Follow these steps to use the weighted grade calculator

First Step : Add each assessment name

This is optional, but it’s useful to add assessment names to help you keep track of everything if it’s a complex class with many assessments. An assessment may be homework, an essay, or a quiz.

Second Step : Add your assessment grade

Add the letter grade or percentage grade for each assessment.

You can use a letter grade or you can enter your score on a percentage grading system.

Third Step : Add the assessment weight

As this is a weighted grade, so you don’t need to add letter grades here

each assessment has a different weight over the final grade.

Fourth Step : Add more assessments

You can add more assessments to keep track of your grade as a class progresses.

Then repeat the first 3 steps.

Fifth Step : Add another class

You can keep track of several classes at once by adding another class to the calculator.

Then repeat the steps above for each new class so you can keep track of all your grades from one spot.

The grades are automatically calculated taking into account the weight for each assessment, so you can save time and trouble, and just focus on your studies.

What is a weighted grade?

A weighted score or a weighted grade is a course where there are different elements that contribute to the final course grade, and each of them has a different weight.

suppose, the grade weight of homework could be 15% of the course grade, while the final exam may represent 50%.

Knowing the different grade weights in your course elements is key to being able to anticipate and calculate your grade on a weighted course. Usually, you can find this information in your class syllabus.

If you want to know more about how grades are calculated, you can read our guide on how to calculate grades .

How can you improve your grades?

By keeping track of your performance percentage grades on the different assignments of a weighted grade, you can start to see patterns in your performance.

If you get fewer points in your essays, then that’s where you need to focus your effort to improve your numbers and increase the weighted average grade.

You can discuss with your teacher for an average grade other strategies or areas of improvement, and they may allow you to retake a previous assignment.

As the final exam usually has a minimum grade and a bigger impact on the overall grade, you could easily improve your numbers with a current grade great grade.

But it’s better to start working early to get as high school’s many grade points as possible before you face the average grade final exam.

It’ll help you be better prepared for getting your desired grade, a first-class grade. Following the above methods, you can get your desired grade in the final exam.

Keep track of all your grades

Use our weighted grade calculator to keep track of all your courses, analyze your progress, and help you plan your work during your academic career.

How much is a weighted grade worth?

Your weighted GPA (weighted average grade point) is one of the most important parts of your application because it shows colleges how much you’ve done with difficult material. An average GPA may show you’re not taking on too many challenges, however, if your GPA is high enough you might find yourself having to do a little extra work to achieve an excellent grade. A good weighted GPA could help boost your chances of getting into a better school.

What is the weighted total for my grade?

A weighted total is simply adding together numbers based on how much weight you assign them. You can calculate your final grade by assigning weights to your different grades. This is done while calculating the final grade. The reason behind it is to give more or less priority to particular assessments.

How to understand your grades with a grade calculator.

Grades are an important part of academic success. They allow students to measure their progress in classes and determine where they need to improve. However, with different grading systems across schools and classes, it can sometimes be difficult to fully understand what your grades mean. This is where a grade calculator comes in handy.

What is a Grade Calculator?

A grade calculator is a tool that lets you input the grades you have received on individual assignments and assessments, and uses a weighting system to calculate your total overall grade for the class. Most grade calculators allow you to enter:

• Your scores on assignments, quizzes, tests, exams, and any other graded work
• The weight or percentage value of each assignment toward your total grade
• The grading scale used by your school (A-F or numerical, for example)

Once you input all of this information, the grade calculator will provide you with your current overall grade in the class. This is usually expressed as a percentage, letter grade, or GPA.

The calculator works by taking your individual assignment grades, multiplying them by the weight of the assignment, and adding these weighted scores together to get your total points earned. It then divides your total points by the total points possible in the class to calculate your overall percentage grade. This percentage aligns with your school's grading scale to determine your letter grade for the class.

Benefits of Using a Grade Calculator

There are a few key benefits that grade calculators provide:

Understand Your Current Grade Status

By using a grade calculator throughout a term or semester, you can stay up-to-date on your current standing in a class. Rather than trying to manually calculate percentages in your head, the grade calculator does the work for you.

Identify Problem Areas

A grade calculator highlights assignments or assessments where you scored poorly. This allows you to pinpoint topics or skills you may need to focus on improving.

Track Grade Trends Over Time

Entering grades into a calculator throughout the course allows you to identify upward or downward grade trends. You can use this information to modify your study and preparation habits.

Predict Your Final Grade

Once you've entered all current grades, you can project what your final grade in the class will be based on your anticipated scores on remaining assignments. This helps you understand how to finish the course strong.

Convert Grades to GPA

Many grade calculators will take your letter or percentage grades and convert them to a 4.0 GPA scale. This makes it easy to determine the impact courses have on your cumulative GPA.

Types of Grade Calculators

There are a few main types of grade calculators available online for free:

Weighted Grade Calculators

These allow you to input your exact assignment grades along with the percentage weight or points possible for each assignment. Weights may vary if some assignments are worth more toward your final grade than others.

Simple Grade Calculators

Simple calculators only require your individual assignment grades as input. They assume each assignment is worth the same percentage of the final grade.

GPA Calculators

GPA calculators take your letter grades (A, B, C, etc.) and convert them to a 4.0 GPA scale. This allows you to calculate your Cumulative GPA based on your performance across courses.

Spreadsheet Grade Calculators

You can create your own grade calculator using a spreadsheet tool like Excel. This allows full customization of course categories, weights, and grading scales. However, spreadsheets require more work than using an online tool.

Choosing the right type of grade calculator depends on the level of detail you need. Weighted grade calculators provide the most precision, while simple and GPA calculators are quicker, basic options.

How to Use a Grade Calculator

Using an online grade calculator takes just a few simple steps:

Step 1: Gather Your Grades and Weights

Pull together all of the assignments, tests, and other grades you have received in the course so far. Make sure you have the points possible or percentage weight for each graded item. For category weights, review your syllabus or ask your teacher.

Step 2: Enter Your Grades and Weights into the Calculator

Open the grade calculator and input your scores one-by-one along with their weights. Make sure your information is complete and accurate. Double check that you didn't miss any assignments or enter any incorrect scores.

Step 3: Interpret the Results

Once all grades are entered, the calculator will provide your current overall grade in the class. This is typically shown as a percentage, letter grade, and sometimes a 4.0 GPA score. Consider how satisfied you are with your grade and whether you'd like to aim to improve it before the course ends.

Here is an example of entering grades into a simple, unlabeled grade calculator:

• In this example, the calculator determined the student's current grade is 89%, or a B+.
• With a simple calculator, each assignment is assumed to be worth the same percent of the final grade.
• For a more precise estimate, the student would need to use a weighted grade calculator and enter the percentage or points that each assignment is worth toward the total.

Tips for Using a Grade Calculator Effectively

Follow these tips to get the most out of your grade calculator experience:

Be Accurate When Entering Grades and Weights

Careless errors can significantly skew your overall grade calculation. Always double check that every grade and weight you input is correct. Even small typos can throw off your estimated course grade.

Use a Calculator Appropriate for Your Needs

Make sure the calculator you choose allows input of the right level of detail for your class grading system. Use a weighted calculator for courses with different assignment categories and weights. Stick to a simple calculator for classes where assignments are evenly weighted.

Enter Grades After Each New Assignment or Test

Ideally, you should update your grade calculator after receiving each new grade in a course. This will provide you with the most up-to-date picture of your standing as you progress through the semester.

Project Your Semester Grade Early On

At the beginning of a new semester, enter grades for upcoming assignments based on your target goals or past performance in similar courses. This will help you understand what to aim for grade-wise right from the start.

Pay Attention to Patterns Over Time

Note if your grade starts trending up or down once you begin entering your grades into the calculator. This trend analysis can reveal if you need to modify your study habits for the class.

Consult Your Instructor If Unsure About Weights

If your syllabus lacks weight details or you are confused about grade categories, ask your teacher for clarification. Accurate weights are vital for weighted grade calculator precision.

Use GPA Calculator to Track Academic Progress

Maintaining awareness of your GPA is key for academic success. Enter your letter grades into a GPA calculator at the end of each semester to monitor your cumulative progress.

A grade calculator is a versatile tool that provides invaluable insight into your progress and performance in every course you take. Taking advantage of grade calculators helps you stay aware of where you stand at all times, identify problem areas in your learning, and even forecast your grades before semesters end. Make grade calculators a regular part of tracking your academic journey.

By frequently entering in your scores, weights, and categories throughout each semester, grade calculators give you an up-to-the-minute picture of your grade situation across all your classes. Whether you need to bring up a faltering grade before finals or want to maintain rising grades through the second half of a term, grade calculators provide the actionable data you need to be proactive about your academic success.

Tool Overview - Weighted Grade Calculator

This Weighted Grade Calculator is intended to help you estimate your quarter or semester grade as the weighted average of your test and quiz grade. It assumes each grade counts differently (usually some kind of points system) and you enter this weighting as a second number. This weighted average grade calculator tallys up the total score, weighted by the second factor. Thus, grades with a lot of points will count more significantly towards the total than grades with few points.

FAQ - Weighted Grade Calculator

How do you calculate a weighted grade.

Simple. We aggregate the grades / scores entered in the weighted grade calculator and average them by the weights. Note that you don't have to have each weight as a percentage. The weighted grade calculator is able to use other schemes (so points, or a weighting system which doesn't tally to 100 percent is fine - the weighted grade calculator uses the sum of the weights to solve for a grade). This is common for courses with a final exam, which often has a large impact on course grade (and thus, your grade point average).

How do you calculate your overall grade?

You can use the weighted grade calculator to calculate your weighted gpa as well. Check the number of points each letter grade contributes to your overall gpa, use that as your grade (so A = 4 points, B = 3 points, + / - grades usually are 0.3 points added or subtracted) and give each grade a weight of 1. If a certain class counts for more or less (such as a 1.5 credit class with extra periods or a .5 credit elective course), increase or decrease the weights accordingly. The result will be your weighted gpa.

Certain schools may adjust your cumulative gpa calculation for other factors such as honor course, credit hours, or course difficulty. These may get a bonus on the gpa scale (and semester gpa). You can adjust entries into the gpa calculator to reflect this (raise grade or increase the weighting).

How many points does a 100 bring your grade up?

You can solve for this with a grade average calculator. Mathematically, your grade will improved based on the share of your final grade which that test accounts for and the difference between your current average grade and the 100 point score. So if you have an average of 80 in the course and earn a 100 on the final that counts for 50%, your grade will improve: (100 - 80 => 20 points x (50/100) => 10 points.

How to Calculate Report Card Grades

Report card grading is calculated based on the score ranges specific to your school. A score should be calculated for each course, converted into a letter grade, and that is your report card grade.

How do you calculate class rank percentage?

Divide your numeric class rank (21st, for example) with the total number of students in your class (210 students. The result if your percentage class rank.

How does failing a class affect GPA?

It reduces it, obviously. If you have the opportunity to drop a class or withdrawing with minimal penalties, we recommend doing so. Note that you usually must pass any required courses for your major, so if that is your situation, speak with a counselor first.

How can I raise my grade in a week?

First, don't panic. We recommend a careful review of all work done to date to see where there are opportunities to recover lost points. You should reach out to your professor for a meeting. Beyond that, identify the remaining assignments and focus your efforts to earn as many points as possible. You should balance your time between doing "sufficient work" in assignments where there isn't much opportunity for extra points and trying to "knock it out of the park" for easier tests and projects that you can earn extra points for.

Fixing poor assignment grade situations is often a quick way to rebuild a class grade (plus this also positions you to do better on the final exam). While the grading system may make it hard to get your desired grade, particularly at the college student level, this may earn you enough total points to bump your current grade up to the next level (grade category). The good news is most professors would rather pass a student, so showing up to ask for help is the first step towards saving your current gpa.

What percentage is an A?

Generally anything above a 90, although many institutions consider 90 - 93 an A- grade.

Grade Calculator

This grade calculator can compute your weighted grade based on the grades achieved for each component of the course. It can compute grades in various formats, including percentages, letter grades, or the point values of the grades. You can also choose to provide an overall grade you wish to achieve; if this option is selected, the calculator will compute the grade you need to achieve on your remaining assignments or exams, assuming that the total weight is 100. If you want to calculate the grade needed on the final exam to achieve a desired overall grade, please use our Final Grade Calculator .

What is a weighted grade?

A weighted grade is one in which all the assessments in a course have different degrees of importance, or "weight." For example, a course may involve homework, quizzes, exams, projects, presentations, and more. Typically, exams have a larger weight than quizzes and homework, since exam results are often considered to be the most important assessment in a course.

As an example, a course may have exams that account for 50% of the final grade, while quizzes make up 30%, and homework makes up 20%. This means that a 95 on a homework assignment and a 95 on an exam do not carry the same weight; a 95 on an exam has more of an effect on the final grade than a 95 on a homework assignment because it has a larger weight.

How weighted grade is calculated?

There are different formulas for calculating weighted grades depending on the information available. This calculator assumes a total weight of 100 and uses the following formula to calculate the weighted grade, where w i is the weight of the respective grade g i :

For example, given the following grades and respective weights,

the weighted grade is computed as follows:

92.75 is the current weighted grade based on the grades achieved thus far. Since the calculator assumes a total weight of 100, there are still remaining grades that together have a weight of 80. Once the values of the remaining grades and their weights are known, the final weighted grade can be computed in the same manner as above. In cases where the assessments (exams, quizzes, homework, etc.) have weights in terms of percentages, the weighted grade can be computed by finding the average grade attained for each assessment, then multiplying by their respective weights. Given that w i is the weight in percentage form of the average grade g i achieved in each respective assessment: Weighted grade = w 1 g 1 + w 2 g 2 + w 3 g 3 + ...+ w n g n For example, given that a student's homework is worth 20%, quizzes are worth 30%, and exams are worth 50%, if a student achieved an average grade of 85 on all their homework assignments, an average of an 87 on all their quizzes, and an average of 83 on all their exams, their weighted grade is calculated as follows:

(85)(0.2) + (87)(0.3) + (83)(0.5) = 84.6

Thus, their weighted grade is an 84.6.

What are the different grade formats?

The calculator uses three different grade formats: percentage, letter, and point value.

Percentages:

Percentage grades are grades expressed in percentage form. They range from 0-100%, and are calculated by dividing the score earned by the student by the total possible score on the assessment. For example, consider a multiple-choice exam in which all the questions are worth the same number of points. To calculate a student's percentage grade, divide the number of questions the student answered correctly by the total number of questions, then multiply by 100. This is the student's percentage grade. For example, if a student answered 39/50 questions correctly on an exam, their percentage grade is:

Percentage grades are related to letter grades through a grading scale. Grading scales vary throughout institutions, so an A at one school may not correspond to the same percentages as another. Refer to the table below in the "Letter grades" section to see how percentages and letter grades are related in one of the more commonly used grading scales in the US.

Letter grades:

Letter grades range from A-F in the US grading system, where an A is the highest achievable grade, and an F is a failing grade. However, even within the US system, there are variations in what each letter represents, as well as in the letters used in the system. For example, there are institutions that use grades such as A+, B-, C+, etc., while there are others that do not make use of plus and minus grades, and only use the letters A, B, C, D, and F. Also, depending on the institution, a D, or even a C, might constitute a failing grade for the course.

Letter grades correspond to a specific range of percentage values. The range of values assigned to a given letter differ based on the grading scale, but are generally pretty similar. The following table shows a commonly used grading scale, and the corresponding letter and percentage grades.

Point value:

Point value grades refer to grades where the points earned for all assessments in the course are summed; the grade achieved in the course is calculated by dividing the total number of points earned by the total number of points possible. There can be any number of points in this type of grading system.

For example, a course may have 10 homework assignments worth 20 points each, 5 quizzes worth 50 points each, and 3 exams worth 150 points each. To be able to determine the weight of each type of assessment, it is necessary to find the total number of points for all the assessments in the course. In this case,

10(20) + 5(50) + 3(150) = 900

Thus, the course has a total of 900 points making homework worth 22.2% of the final grade, quizzes worth 27.8%, and exams worth 50%. We can also determine how much each individual assessment is worth. For this example, each homework assignment is 2.2%, each quiz is 5.5%, and each exam is 16.67% of the final grade.

Calculate your uni grade

Our university grade calculator takes a percentage mark for each of your university courses (assignments or modules) or academic years, together with the percentage or credit weighting, and returns a weighted average for the parts you have completed so far.

How do I calculate my weighted university grade?

In order to work out your weighted average grade for your university year, module, or assignment, we take the marks (or grades) multiplied by their respective weights, sum them together, and then divide the total by the sum of the weights. An example is shown below, and the calculation is shown at the bottom of the results.

Example calculation

Student A is studying a degree in Computer Science and has undertaken three modules so far. They want to calculate their average weighted grade for the three modules.

Student A's average mark is therefore calculated at 64.5%.

Unweighted calculations

If you wish to carry out an unweighted calculation, simply leave all the weight boxes blank, or make them equal. If you want to work out the mark you require on your final exam, you can use our final grade calculator tool .

What mark do I need from the rest of my course?

Our calculator can help you work out the average mark you need from the remainder of your course, in order to achieve a target percentage, so that you can see whether you're on track to achieve the grade you want.

How does this weighted grade calculator work?

This is an educational tool that helps you estimate the average grade you obtained in already finished assignments. The weighted grade calculator computes the total weight in percentage for the assignments completed (homework, quiz, written paper).

All you have to do is input the assignments name if you prefer a clear evidence of them, the assignment grade meaning the point you obtained or how you performed with the assignment (for instance 93 obtained from total) and the weight in percentage for each assignment (for instance 35 for an assignment with 35% weight).

There are five fields available as default but you can press the ADD+1 ASS button and the calculator will provide more fields for as many time as you want. Please note that both the assignment grade and the weight should be positive numbers and there is no need to put the % signs.

Here’s a short example on how you should fill in the data within the form:

First Assignment has a grade 93 and a weight (percent): 20. Assuming that this assignment would be the only  assignment completed so far, the weighted average grade for this assignment would be: (93*20)/100=18.60.

Second Assignment has a grade 90 and a weight (percent): 25. Assuming that these two are the assignments for calculation the weighted average grade will be: [(93*20)/100] + [(90*25)/100] = 18.60 + 22.50 = 41.10.

Weighted grade formula:

This is a formula to be applied in cases where there is more than one assignement grade and each evaluation method has a certain weight towards the final mark.

[(G1*W1)/100] + [(G2*W2)/100] + [(G3*W3)/100] + …. + [(Gn*Wn)/100].

Example calculation

The result for the values in the table above is: Your average grade on the assignments completed is: 76.80; The weight in percentage for the assignments completed is: 100.00%
