Grade Calculator FAQ
What is a weighted grade?
A weighted grade is one where different assignments or exams contribute different amounts to your final score. For example, a final exam might be worth 30% of your grade, while homework is only worth 10%.
How do I find the weight of my final exam?
Your course syllabus is the best place to find this information. It will break down how your final grade is calculated and the percentage value of each component.
What if my target grade is impossible to achieve?
The calculator will tell you if you need a score over 100% on the final. This means your target grade is mathematically impossible. Use this information to set a new, realistic goal.
