How It Works

Formula

Grade = Sum(Score x Weight)

Tips & Shortcuts

Weight different assignments: exam 60%, homework 40% — use weighted average.

Calculate what you need on the final: missing points needed = (target% × total) - current points.

Know your syllabus grading scale — some use 93%+ for A, others 90%+.

Common Mistakes

Adding scores without weighting by point values

A 50-point exam matters more than a 10-point quiz. Calculate percentage, not raw sum.

Not knowing the exact grading scale

Different instructors use different cutoffs. Ask for the exact grading scale.
