Grade calculator questions
How do I know my category weights?
Most class syllabi list them — for example "Homework 20%, Quizzes 20%, Midterm 25%, Final 35%." If yours uses points instead, convert each category's weight as its share of the total possible points.
What if I haven't taken the final yet?
Leave the final category's score blank. Enter your target grade and the calculator works backward through the missing weight to show the exact score you need on the final.
Why does my school's grade differ from this?
Every teacher weights differently, and many curve or drop scores. Treat this as a planning tool that mirrors the most common weighted scheme, then check your syllabus and portal for the official number.
