FAQs

Does this weight categories differently?
No. For weighted categories, compute each category percent, then combine with your syllabus weights.
Can earned be higher than total?
Extra credit can push earned above total. The percent will be over 100%.
How do I find what I need on the final?
Use the Final Grade calculator with your current percent, target, and final weight.
Is rounding to whole percents?
The display may show decimals. Your teacher may round differently on the grade book.
