Grade Calculator
Enter your grades for each category along with their weight percentages to calculate your overall course grade.
How to Use the Grade Calculator
This calculator helps you determine your current grade in a course based on the different assessment categories (like homework, quizzes, exams) and their respective weights.
- Enter the name of each assessment category (e.g., "Homework", "Midterm", "Final")
- Input the weight percentage for each category (how much it contributes to your final grade)
- Enter your current score percentage for each category
- Add more categories as needed by clicking "Add Category"
- Click "Calculate Grade" to see your current overall grade
Understanding Weighted Grades
Most courses assign different weights to various assessment components. For example, homework might be worth 20% of your grade, while a final exam could be worth 40%.
The weighted grade calculation multiplies each category score by its corresponding weight, adds these values together, and then divides by the total weight to determine your overall grade.
Formula: Overall Grade = Σ(Category Score × Category Weight) ÷ Total Weight
Tips for Grade Tracking
- Review your course syllabus to identify all graded components and their weights
- Update the calculator regularly as you receive new grades
- Pay special attention to high-weight categories, as they have the biggest impact on your final grade
- Use this calculator to identify which categories need improvement to reach your desired grade
- Consider creating a grade tracker for each of your courses to monitor your overall academic performance
