Frequently Asked Questions
How do weighted grades work?
Weighted grades assign different importance levels to assignments. For example, if your final exam is worth 50% of your grade, it has more impact on your overall score than a quiz worth 10%. The calculator multiplies each assignment's percentage by its weight to determine the contribution to your final grade.
What if my weights don't add up to 100%?
If weights don't total 100%, the calculator will use a simple average of all assignment percentages. For accurate weighted calculations, ensure your weights add up to 100%. You can distribute remaining weight among assignments or add placeholder assignments for future work.
Can I use different point values?
Yes! Enter the actual points earned and total points possible for each assignment. The calculator automatically converts these to percentages before applying weights. This works for any point system (100-point scale, 50-point quizzes, 300-point exams, etc.).
How is GPA calculated?
GPA is calculated based on your letter grade using the 4.0 scale: A = 4.0, B = 3.0, C = 2.0, D = 1.0, F = 0.0. The calculator uses your overall percentage to determine the letter grade, then assigns the corresponding GPA value.
Can I customize the grading scale?
Absolutely! Switch to "Custom Scale" and set your own grade thresholds. This is useful for courses with different grading standards or curved grades. Enter the minimum percentage required for each letter grade.
What if I have assignments with 0 points?
Assignments with 0 points will be included in the calculation as 0% scores. If you haven't completed an assignment yet, either remove it from the list or set a placeholder score. The calculator only processes assignments with valid positive point totals.
