Weighted Grade Formula:
From: | To: |
Definition: This calculator computes your overall university grade based on module marks and their credit values.
Purpose: It helps UK university students determine their weighted average grade across all modules.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: Each module's mark is multiplied by its credit value, these products are summed, then divided by total credits.
Details: UK universities use weighted averages to determine degree classifications (1st, 2:1, 2:2, 3rd).
Tips: Add all your modules with their marks (%) and credit values. You can add as many modules as needed.
Q1: What if my module has a pass/fail grade?
A: Pass/fail modules typically don't count toward weighted averages. Only include graded modules.
Q2: How are final year grades weighted?
A: Many UK universities weight final year more heavily (e.g., 2nd year 40%, 3rd year 60%).
Q3: What's a good weighted average?
A: Typically: 70%+ = 1st, 60-69% = 2:1, 50-59% = 2:2, 40-49% = 3rd.
Q4: Do all universities use the same calculation?
A: Most UK unis use similar methods, but always check your institution's specific regulations.
Q5: How do I improve my weighted average?
A: Focus on higher-credit modules where grade improvements will have greater impact.
