Everything you need to know about calculating weighted grades, final exams, and GPA scales.
How do you calculate grades by weight manually?
To calculate grades by weight: 1) Convert each percentage weight to a decimal (e.g. 25% = 0.25). 2) Multiply each earned assignment grade by its decimal weight. 3) Add all the resulting products together. 4) Divide by the sum of all weights (if weights equal 100%, no division is needed).
What if my assignment weights don't equal 100% yet?
If only part of your course is completed (e.g. 60% total weight so far), sum your weighted points and divide by 0.60. This normalizes your current standing out of 100%.
