How Weighted Grades Work
A weighted grade gives more importance to some categories than others. For example, tests may count much more than homework. That means your overall class average should not be found with a simple average.
Example: If Homework is 92% and worth 20%, Quizzes are 85% and worth 30%, and Tests are 88% and worth 50%, your weighted grade reflects the larger importance of Tests.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate a weighted grade?
Multiply each category grade by its weight, add the results together, and divide by the total weight. This calculator does that for you automatically.
Do my weights need to add up to 100%?
Ideally yes, but this calculator will still work if they do not. It calculates based on the total weight you entered.
Can I add more categories?
Yes. Click the Add category button to include more parts of your class, such as labs, projects, or participation.
