How your class grade adds up
In a weighted class, your homework average counts for the homework share of the course. Do the same for tests and projects, then add those contributions.
Grade so far = total course points ÷ graded weight × 100
In this example, homework adds 24 course points, tests add 45, and the project adds 14.4. Together they make 83.4%.
If your gradebook uses points, choose points earned. Add earned points and possible points separately, then divide. A simple average only fits scores that count equally.
What if some work is still ungraded?
Leave its score blank and keep its weight. Your current average leaves that work out until you enter a score. A zero is a real score, so enter it when the work earned no credit.
To try a future score, enter it and check “What-if score.” You will see the projection separately from your current grade. The remaining range assumes future scores between zero and full credit.
Extra credit, dropped work and gradebook rounding can change the official result. The calculation rules explain how this calculator handles each.
