learn.whatIsHeading

A grade calculator computes your overall course grade from individual assessment scores weighted by their contribution to the final grade. Understanding weighted averages helps students know exactly where they stand and what score they need on remaining assessments.

Formel

Weighted grade = Σ(score × weight) / Σ(weights)

Trinn-for-trinn guide

1Weighted grade = Σ(score × weight) / Σ(weights)
2All weights must sum to 100% for a complete grade calculation
3To find needed score: rearrange — needed = (target − current_weighted_sum) / remaining_weight
