Grade Formula:
From: | To: |
Definition: This calculator computes a weighted average grade based on individual grades and their percentage weights.
Purpose: It helps students and educators determine final grades when different components (exams, assignments) have different weights.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: Each grade is multiplied by its weight percentage, then all results are summed to get the final weighted grade.
Details: Proper grade weighting ensures fair evaluation when different course components have different importance levels.
Tips: Enter grades (0-100%) and their corresponding weights (%). The total weight should typically equal 100% for accurate results.
Q1: What if my weights don't add up to 100%?
A: The calculator will still work, but results represent the weighted average of the entered components only.
Q2: Can I add more than two grade components?
A: Yes, simply add additional grade and weight pairs in the form fields.
Q3: How are decimal grades handled?
A: Grades are calculated with decimal precision for accurate results.
Q4: What's the maximum grade I can enter?
A: The calculator accepts grades from 0% to 100%.
Q5: Can I use this for non-academic grading?
A: Yes, this works for any weighted average calculation where components have different importance.
