How Weighted Grades Are Calculated

Component % = (Score ÷ Max Score) × 100
Weighted Points = Component % × (Weight ÷ 100)
Final Grade = Sum of all Weighted Points

Example: Quiz: 85/100 (20% weight)
Quiz % = 85%, Weighted Points = 85 × 0.20 = 17 points

  • • Final Grade: 86.4% (B)

Frequently Asked Questions About Weighted Grades

How do weighted grades work?

Each grade component is converted to a percentage, multiplied by its weight, and summed. A quiz worth 20% where you score 85% contributes 17 points (85 × 0.20) to your final grade.

What if my weights don't add up to 100%?

The calculator automatically normalizes weights. If your weights total 80%, each component's contribution is scaled proportionally to equal 100%.

How can I calculate what score I need on the final?

Enter your current scores, then experiment with different final exam scores to see what you need to achieve your target final grade.

Common scale: A (93-100), A- (90-92), B+ (87-89), B (83-86), B- (80-82), C+ (77-79), C (73-76), C- (70-72), D+ (67-69), D (63-66), D- (60-62), F (below 60).
