Stop guessing your grade between report cards
Most classes weight categories differently - your final might be worth 40% while homework is worth 10%. Averaging raw scores ignores that and gives you the wrong number. A weighted grade respects each category's importance.
Once you know your current grade, see what you need on what's left with the Final Grade Calculator, or let MyGrades track every class for you automatically.
Frequently asked questions
How do you calculate a weighted grade?
Multiply each score by its weight, add those together, then divide by the total weight you've entered. The result is your grade across the work completed so far.
Do the weights need to add up to 100%?
Not while a class is in progress. The tool divides by the weight you've entered, so it shows your grade on completed work. Once everything is graded, the weights should total 100%.
What's the difference between this and the final grade calculator?
This tool tells you your current grade from completed work. The Final Grade Calculator tells you what you still need to score to hit a target.
