Question 1

How is my current grade calculated?

Accepted Answer

Your current grade is calculated as a weighted average: Sum of (Grade × Weight) ÷ Sum of Weights. Each assignment's grade is multiplied by its weight percentage, then all weighted scores are summed and divided by the total weight used. This gives you your current weighted grade.

Question 2

How do I calculate what final exam score I need?

Accepted Answer

Use the target grade feature. Enter your target overall grade and the final exam weight. The calculator shows the minimum final exam score needed to reach your target. Formula: Required Final Score = (Target Grade - (Current Grade × Current Weight)) ÷ Final Weight.

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

The calculator works with any weight distribution. If weights don't sum to 100%, it calculates based on the weights you've entered. The result shows 'Based on X% of your total grade' to indicate how much of the course is accounted for.

Question 4

Can I import grades from a CSV file?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Our calculator supports CSV import. Format your CSV with columns for assignment name, grade, and weight. The calculator automatically imports and calculates your grade. This saves time when you have many assignments.

Question 5

How do assignment weights affect my grade?

Accepted Answer

Higher-weighted assignments have more impact on your final grade. For example, a test worth 40% affects your grade four times more than homework worth 10%. Use the assignment analysis feature to see which assignments are helping or hurting your grade most.
