Brief history of different grading systems

In 1785, students at Yale were ranked based on "optimi" being the highest rank, followed by second optimi, inferiore (lower), and pejores (worse). At William and Mary, students were ranked as either No. 1, or No. 2, where No. 1 represented students that were first in their class, while No. 2 represented those who were "orderly, correct and attentive." Meanwhile at Harvard, students were graded based on a numerical system from 1-200 (except for math and philosophy where 1-100 was used). Later, shortly after 1883, Harvard used a system of "Classes" where students were either Class I, II, III, IV, or V, with V representing a failing grade. All of these examples show the subjective, arbitrary, and inconsistent nature with which different institutions graded their students, demonstrating the need for a more standardized, albeit equally arbitrary grading system.

In 1887, Mount Holyoke College became the first college to use letter grades similar to those commonly used today. The college used a grading scale with the letters A, B, C, D, and E, where E represented a failing grade. This grading system however, was far stricter than those commonly used today, with a failing grade being defined as anything below 75%. The college later re-defined their grading system, adding the letter F for a failing grade (still below 75%). This system of using a letter grading scale became increasingly popular within colleges and high schools, eventually leading to the letter grading systems typically used today. However, there is still significant variation regarding what may constitute an A, or whether a system uses plusses or minuses (i.e. A+ or B-), among other differences.

An alternative to the letter grading system

Letter grades provide an easy means to generalize a student's performance. They can be more effective than qualitative evaluations in situations where "right" or "wrong" answers can be easily quantified, such as an algebra exam, but alone may not provide a student with enough feedback in regards to an assessment like a written paper (which is much more subjective).

Although a written analysis of each individual student's work may be a more effective form of feedback, there exists the argument that students and parents are unlikely to read the feedback, and that teachers do not have the time to write such an analysis. There is precedence for this type of evaluation system however, in Saint Ann's School in New York City, an arts-oriented private school that does not have a letter grading system. Instead, teachers write anecdotal reports for each student. This method of evaluation focuses on promoting learning and improvement, rather than the pursuit of a certain letter grade in a course. For better or for worse however, these types of programs constitute a minority in the United States, and though the experience may be better for the student, most institutions still use a fairly standard letter grading system that students will have to adjust to. The time investment that this type of evaluation method requires of teachers/professors is likely not viable on university campuses with hundreds of students per course. As such, although there are other high schools such as Sanborn High School that approach grading in a more qualitative way, it remains to be seen whether such grading methods can be scalable. Until then, more generalized forms of grading like the letter grading system are unlikely to be entirely replaced. However, many educators already try to create an environment that limits the role that grades play in motivating students. One could argue that a combination of these two systems would likely be the most realistic, and effective way to provide a more standardized evaluation of students, while promoting learning.

Important Notes

You can use our grade calculator to calculate the final exam grade you will need to achieve the overall course grade you desire. Our calculator requires you to enter the current percentage grade you have currently obtained for that course together with the weight of the final exam as a percentage value. However, if you do not know what your current grade is, for the question "Do you know your Current Grade?" select the answer "no." Enter the grades you have received for all of your assignments, homework, test, labs, and anything else that contributes to your final grade, as well as the weight of each grade. Our grade calculator will automatically calculate not only your current grade but the grade you need to achieve on your final exam to achieve the overall course grade you desire. In addition, both the minimum and maximum course overall grades will be provided.

Once you have entered the information required, the system will generate both a table and a chart that show the different final exam grades you may obtain as well as the overall course grades that go with them.

Inputting Data in our Grade Calculator

When entering your current grade and the weight of your final exam, our calculator will assume that your current grade has been based on the weight of the course prior to your final exam and calculates it as the input weight subtracted from 100%. If your current grade hasn't taken your coursework into account, the generated results will not be accurate.

Similar to the above, if you don't know what your current grade is and you enter both the coursework grades and the associated weights into the calculator, the calculator will automatically calculate your current grade and the weight of the final exam. In this situation, the weight of your final exam is calculated by taking the sum of the weight of your course work subtracted from 100%. With that in mind, if you enter too many or not enough assignments, the weight of the final exam that is calculated will most likely not match the actual weight of the final exam in your chosen course.

    How to calculate your grade

With the help of this grade calculator you can calculate your current weighted grade or unweighted grade in terms of percentage, letter grade, or GPA. The tool will also output the weight of all remaining exams, and assignments and has the option of calculating the minimum score you need to obtain on a final exam in order to achieve a target overall grade for a class or course.

To use the calculator, enter the number of grades you currently have, then each grade as a percent or letter grade , and finally the weight each grade adds towards the overall. If no weights are entered, the weights are assumed equal and the calculator will output the unweighted average grade. Otherwise a weighted average grade will be produced in terms of percentage, GPA, and a letter grade.

    What grade do I need on my final?

If you haven't yet got a score on the final exam for a given class, you can use this tool as a final grade calculator. In order to achieve a given grade goal for the entire class, course, or semester, a given minimum grade is required on the final exam, depending on both the weighted average grade to that date, and the weight of the final on the overall grade. This minimum required score can be calculated using the following formula:

Required final score = (Grade Goal - Current Grade x (100% - Weight of Final(%))) / Weight of Final(%)

The current grade is calculated based on the weighted average of all marks to date. The weight of the final test is calculated as 100% minus the combined weight of all grades to date. Therefore, if the combined weight of the scores you enter is 65% then the final exam will have a weight of 100% - 65% = 35%.

    How to convert a grade to percentage?

Our grade calculator uses the following table to convert letter grades to percentages. Note that since this is not a universally applicable table, ideally one would want to know the exact percentage scores and use these as input for the calculator, otherwise the results may be slightly off.

Again, it is our recommendation that you check with your local school or college and enter percentage grades instead of letter grades for the most accurate calculation. Note that while U.S. colleges and schools are likely to use the above grading, educational institutions in other countries may use a vastly different GPA scale.

How are Grades Calculated?

Most courses us a ‘weighted’ system, where each cluster of assessments (homework assignments, essays, exams, etc.) are each worth a different percentage of your final course grade.

Using a ‘weighted’ system takes little getting used to, but it’s not difficult to master. You may receive 15/15 points on your essay, and 15/15 points on an exam, but the exam might be worth more relative to your total class grade. This information can be found in your course syllabus. If not, ask your instructor.

How to Calculate Weighted Grade?

To calculate a weighted grade, you need to assign different weights or percentages to each assignment. Such as projects, midterms, homework, and quizzes, and then multiply the grade earned in each assignment by its corresponding weight. Finally, add up these weighted grades and divide them by the sum of weights to obtain an overall weighted grade.

Here's an example:

Suppose there are three categories of assignments:

  • Projects (weight of 35%)
  • Midterms (weight of 40%)
  • Homework (weight of 25%)

A student earns the following grades in each category:

  • Projects - 75%
  • Midterms - 90%
  • Homework - 82%

Weighted grade = (project grade × 35%) + (midterm grade × 40%) + (homework grade × 25%) / 35 + 40 + 25

= (75 × 35) + (90 × 40) + (82 × 25) / 100

= (2625 + 3600 + 2050) / 100

= 8275 / 100

Therefore, the student's overall weighted grade for the course is 82.75% .

How to use Grade Calculator?

Before getting started, ask your teacher, how much each assignment category is worth. Also, you can check it out from the course syllabus. Because it will be needed for the grade calculation.

  • Firstly, select the grade type. Our tool gives you access to enter the grades in three formats. Percentage, Letters, and Points. So, choose the required one of them.
  • After choosing the grade type, enter the assignment category name. Such as projects, quizzes, homework, midterm, etc.
  • Now enter the grade that you earned for each assignment. Also, you can input the grades in percentages, letters, or points.
  • Enter the weight for each assignment category in percentage. For example, projects - 20%, midterms - 30%, etc.
  • If you want to calculate the grades for more than five assignments, you can use the "Add Assignment" button to add more rows.
  • In addition, you can find how much additional grade is needed to maintain the given average grade. It's an optional feature. You can leave it blank if you don't need it.
  • Lastly, press the "Calculate" button to see the final result on your screen.
  • Finally, you can see the average grade result with calculations and additional grades needed. Also, if you choose the letter grade, you will get the GPA result. Similarly, the tool will display the total grade result, if you choose a point grade.
  • For new calculations, press the "Reset" button. It will refresh the calculator and gives a fresh new start.

Missing Grades Make the Math More Complicated

The reason we need these calculators, 6 ways to evaluate student progress, grade calculators: useful tools to show you what you've accomplished and help plan your next move.

A weighted grading calculator can be a lifesaver for students who need to know where they stand at any point in the grading period. These convenient programs save time and give students and teachers quick, accurate information. But what is it they do? This article will investigate what functions grade calculators perform, how they operate, and why we have grades in the first place.

Where You Are and How to Get Where You're Going

The three calculators above can help teachers and students answer urgent questions about grades in seconds. First, the Grade Calculator computes a weighted average for any course, accepting both number and letter grades.

In addition, the Final Grade Planning Calculator displays the grade needed on outstanding assignments to reach a target final grade. Also, the Final Grade Calculator determines what a student needs to score on their final exam to reach their target final grade.

Compared to the normal average, a weighted average requires more calculations. When you figure out a weighted average, the many numbers you use are given varying weights or values in relation to one another. This phenomenon occurs in most high-school and college courses, where different assignment types are worth different percentages of the final grade. A course grade calculator makes finding weighted averages quick and accurate.

In addition, many students become concerned near the end of a quarter, semester, or year. They often worry that they will not get a good grade, but they can rely on a Final Grade Planning Calculator to tell them how to perform to reach their desired goal.

Similarly, students often need to achieve a specific score on their final project or exam to get the desired grade. In this case, a Final Grade Calculator lets them know how hard they must work to get where they need to go.

Suppose a grading period is over and all grades are accounted for. In that case, a student can use the Grade Calculator to ensure the teacher made no mathematical errors. In this example, the student enters each assignment, grade, and weight into the calculator.

After clicking "Calculate," the Grade calculator provides a numerical and letter grade.

Average Grade: 87.7 (B+)

Provided there are still grades or categories outstanding, enter the target final grade and the weight percentage weight of the outstanding assignments.

After hitting "Calculate," the Final Grade Planning Calculator will display the current weighted average and the score required on outstanding work to achieve the desired final grade.

  • Average grade: 85.0 (B).
  • A grade of 95.0 is needed for the remaining 30% of tasks to ensure a final grade of 88.

When all grades other than the final exam are accounted for, enter the current weighted average grade, target grade, and final exam weight in the Final Grade Calculator. Click the Calculate button.

  • Your current grade: 79
  • The grade you want: 85
  • Your final is worth: 35%

The Final Grade Calculator will display the final exam grade necessary to attain the desired final grade.

Result You will need a grade of 96.1 or higher on the final.

Weighted averages include numbers with different abilities to skew the average—thus the term "weighted." Unfortunately, many students (and some teachers!) don't understand how to calculate grades using weighted averages because they require more calculations than simple ones.

Suppose you're attempting to figure out your grade in a class where different assignments are worth varying percentages of your final grade. In that case, you might need to determine a weighted average. Whether the sum of your weights equals 1 (or 100%) will affect the method you employ.

It's Pretty Simple When You Have All the Data

To calculate a weighted average where the total weights equal 1, multiply each grade by its corresponding weight and add them all up. Rendered mathematically: g1(w1) + g2(w2) + g3(w3), and so on, where g is each grade and w is the corresponding weight. Of course, most syllabi list weights as percentages, so you will need to convert them into decimals first. For example, 25% equals 0.25; therefore, 100% equals 1.

The math is slightly different when some grades are missing, and the total weights equal less than one. This happens when you use the Final Grade Planning Calculator to determine your current weighted average and the score needed on the outstanding work to get the final grade you want.

Mathematically, you would figure out the weighted average the same way. However, you need to take the sum of each grade (weight) and divide it by the total weight of the known grades (in decimal form).

The formula would be Σgw/Σw where Σgw is the sum of each grade (weight) and Σw is the sum of all weights in decimal form.

The complexity of these calculations makes a weighted grade calculator a lifesaver for students.

Grading is a comparatively recent invention. Since 1785, students at Yale have been receiving the Latin equivalents of the words best (optimi), worse (inferiores), and worst (peiores). So, Yale was the first university in the United States to assign grades.

Before that, American colleges followed the Oxford and Cambridge models, which required frequent attendance at lectures and a weekly dialogue between the student and their proctor, both in person and in writing.

When the proctor or panel of other professors thought the students had shown an appropriate grasp of the subject, the course was declared complete. The faculty gave no grade. A prospective employer could only compare a student's qualifications through reference letters.

Universities experimented with a wide variety of systems during the 19th century. For example, Yale used scales ranging from four to nine points. The professors at Harvard experimented with 20 and 100-point scales before deciding that grouping students into five classes, with the lowest class failing the course, was the best they could do.

To assist professors in evaluating students, William and Mary public research University in the U.S. used the categories: "orderly, accurate, and attentive" or "they have learned little or nothing."

Because of the significant increases in immigration and the emergence of regulations requiring compulsory attendance, schools were overcrowded at the beginning of the 20th century. As a result, teachers and administrators needed an effective, standardized method for testing and grading many pupils. These circumstances naturally led to the nationwide standardization of school grading.

Our calculators use the percentages and letter grades common in the U.S. However, there are many other ways to assess student progress. Here is a quick list of common grading alternatives:

  • A percentage ranging from 0% to 100%.
  • Letter Grades with Variations (A, C+, B-).
  • Standard-Based. Students receive marks relative to specific knowledge in the curriculum.
  • Mastery-Based Grading. Students have the time to master a skill before moving to another.
  • Narrative-Based Grading. Students receive lengthy written feedback about their performance in class.

It may seem that the student grading system has been around forever. However, before the 20th century, the grading systems we now know did not exist.

We still worry about how to determine our grades when each type of assignment has its own "weight." We wonder what we need to get on the final exam to pass.

Our grade calculator can't give you the knowledge to handle every assignment. But he can reassure you by telling you where you are and what results you need to achieve.

How to understand your grades with a grade calculator.

Grades are an important part of academic success. They allow students to measure their progress in classes and determine where they need to improve. However, with different grading systems across schools and classes, it can sometimes be difficult to fully understand what your grades mean. This is where a grade calculator comes in handy.

What is a Grade Calculator?

A grade calculator is a tool that lets you input the grades you have received on individual assignments and assessments, and uses a weighting system to calculate your total overall grade for the class. Most grade calculators allow you to enter:

  • Your scores on assignments, quizzes, tests, exams, and any other graded work
  • The weight or percentage value of each assignment toward your total grade
  • The grading scale used by your school (A-F or numerical, for example)

Once you input all of this information, the grade calculator will provide you with your current overall grade in the class. This is usually expressed as a percentage, letter grade, or GPA.

The calculator works by taking your individual assignment grades, multiplying them by the weight of the assignment, and adding these weighted scores together to get your total points earned. It then divides your total points by the total points possible in the class to calculate your overall percentage grade. This percentage aligns with your school's grading scale to determine your letter grade for the class.

Benefits of Using a Grade Calculator

There are a few key benefits that grade calculators provide:

Understand Your Current Grade Status

By using a grade calculator throughout a term or semester, you can stay up-to-date on your current standing in a class. Rather than trying to manually calculate percentages in your head, the grade calculator does the work for you.

Identify Problem Areas

A grade calculator highlights assignments or assessments where you scored poorly. This allows you to pinpoint topics or skills you may need to focus on improving.

Track Grade Trends Over Time

Entering grades into a calculator throughout the course allows you to identify upward or downward grade trends. You can use this information to modify your study and preparation habits.

Predict Your Final Grade

Once you've entered all current grades, you can project what your final grade in the class will be based on your anticipated scores on remaining assignments. This helps you understand how to finish the course strong.

Convert Grades to GPA

Many grade calculators will take your letter or percentage grades and convert them to a 4.0 GPA scale. This makes it easy to determine the impact courses have on your cumulative GPA.

Types of Grade Calculators

There are a few main types of grade calculators available online for free:

Weighted Grade Calculators

These allow you to input your exact assignment grades along with the percentage weight or points possible for each assignment. Weights may vary if some assignments are worth more toward your final grade than others.

Simple Grade Calculators

Simple calculators only require your individual assignment grades as input. They assume each assignment is worth the same percentage of the final grade.

GPA Calculators

GPA calculators take your letter grades (A, B, C, etc.) and convert them to a 4.0 GPA scale. This allows you to calculate your Cumulative GPA based on your performance across courses.

Spreadsheet Grade Calculators

You can create your own grade calculator using a spreadsheet tool like Excel. This allows full customization of course categories, weights, and grading scales. However, spreadsheets require more work than using an online tool.

Choosing the right type of grade calculator depends on the level of detail you need. Weighted grade calculators provide the most precision, while simple and GPA calculators are quicker, basic options.

How to Use a Grade Calculator

Using an online grade calculator takes just a few simple steps:

Step 1: Gather Your Grades and Weights

Pull together all of the assignments, tests, and other grades you have received in the course so far. Make sure you have the points possible or percentage weight for each graded item. For category weights, review your syllabus or ask your teacher.

Step 2: Enter Your Grades and Weights into the Calculator

Open the grade calculator and input your scores one-by-one along with their weights. Make sure your information is complete and accurate. Double check that you didn't miss any assignments or enter any incorrect scores.

Step 3: Interpret the Results

Once all grades are entered, the calculator will provide your current overall grade in the class. This is typically shown as a percentage, letter grade, and sometimes a 4.0 GPA score. Consider how satisfied you are with your grade and whether you'd like to aim to improve it before the course ends.

Here is an example of entering grades into a simple, unlabeled grade calculator:

  • In this example, the calculator determined the student's current grade is 89%, or a B+.
  • With a simple calculator, each assignment is assumed to be worth the same percent of the final grade.
  • For a more precise estimate, the student would need to use a weighted grade calculator and enter the percentage or points that each assignment is worth toward the total.

Tips for Using a Grade Calculator Effectively

Follow these tips to get the most out of your grade calculator experience:

Be Accurate When Entering Grades and Weights

Careless errors can significantly skew your overall grade calculation. Always double check that every grade and weight you input is correct. Even small typos can throw off your estimated course grade.

Use a Calculator Appropriate for Your Needs

Make sure the calculator you choose allows input of the right level of detail for your class grading system. Use a weighted calculator for courses with different assignment categories and weights. Stick to a simple calculator for classes where assignments are evenly weighted.

Enter Grades After Each New Assignment or Test

Ideally, you should update your grade calculator after receiving each new grade in a course. This will provide you with the most up-to-date picture of your standing as you progress through the semester.

Project Your Semester Grade Early On

At the beginning of a new semester, enter grades for upcoming assignments based on your target goals or past performance in similar courses. This will help you understand what to aim for grade-wise right from the start.

Pay Attention to Patterns Over Time

Note if your grade starts trending up or down once you begin entering your grades into the calculator. This trend analysis can reveal if you need to modify your study habits for the class.

Consult Your Instructor If Unsure About Weights

If your syllabus lacks weight details or you are confused about grade categories, ask your teacher for clarification. Accurate weights are vital for weighted grade calculator precision.

Use GPA Calculator to Track Academic Progress

Maintaining awareness of your GPA is key for academic success. Enter your letter grades into a GPA calculator at the end of each semester to monitor your cumulative progress.

A grade calculator is a versatile tool that provides invaluable insight into your progress and performance in every course you take. Taking advantage of grade calculators helps you stay aware of where you stand at all times, identify problem areas in your learning, and even forecast your grades before semesters end. Make grade calculators a regular part of tracking your academic journey.

By frequently entering in your scores, weights, and categories throughout each semester, grade calculators give you an up-to-the-minute picture of your grade situation across all your classes. Whether you need to bring up a faltering grade before finals or want to maintain rising grades through the second half of a term, grade calculators provide the actionable data you need to be proactive about your academic success.

The Grade Calculator is a simple and free helpful tool to help you as a student have a better understanding of your current standing in class and what is needed to maintain or improve your grades throughout the academic year.

Instructions:

Type in the grades you’ve received, along with the weights they’ll have in the determination of your overall average. Then, if you want, fill in one or both of the fields embedded in the questions marked ‘ OPTIONAL: ’. After you press ‘Compute’, the results will show your average so far, as well as the answer(s) to any question(s) whose embedded fields you filled in. Every grade you enter must be a non-negative number, and every percentage you enter must be a positive number.

- What is the plus and minus grading scale and how does it affect my GPA?

This is a question I'm often asked by students, so I have written a short paper to demonstrate how I determine minimum percentages when using the plus and minus grading scale.

Using the Plus and Minus Grading Scale

The problem.

In the Fall 2008 semester, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences added grades with pluses and minuses (A–, B+, etc.) to its list of available grades. (Such grades had been available in some schools at KU previously, but not in the College.) Here are the web pages stating the KU and CLAS grade lists: http://www.registrar.ku.edu/~registr/transcript/overview.shtml http://www.collegesas.ku.edu/policies/GPA.shtml

When the only grades were A, B, C, D, and F, it was pretty easy to come up with a final grade calculator, and it was easy for me to show students how to calculate grade percentage. For example, I usually used the following grading scale:

With the introduction of pluses and minuses, minimum percentages need to be determined for a much longer list of grades, as shown in table 2. (For now I’ll assume the possibility of A+, even though it is not an available grade at KU, and then I’ll adjust for its absence at the end.)

My Solution

If you think of the new grading scale as dividing each of the old grades’ ranges into three smaller ranges (e.g., the A range gets divided into ranges for A+, A, and A–), it seems logical to think that the minimum percentage for an A– under my new grading scale should be the same as the minimum percentage for an A under my old grading scale, that the minimum percentage for a B– under my new grading scale should be the same as the minimum percentage for a B under my old grading scale, and so on. So I can partially fill in my table as follows:

Now, I’d like for the other minimum percentages to be based on KU’s grade-point conversion scale:

Notice, though, that there is a structural mismatch between tables 1–3 and table 4. The former were concerned with minimum values, and the latter is concerned with middle values (e.g., 3 grade points goes with the middle of the B range—it has nothing to do with the bottom of the B range). So, to use KU’s grade-point conversion scale to figure out my new percentage-based grading scale, I need to pay attention to middle percentages, not minimum percentages. My old grading scale had 95 in the middle of the A range, 85 in the middle of the B range, and so on. I’ll keep these as the middle percentages in my new grading scale:

Now, to fill in the other percentages using KU’s grade-point conversion scale, I’ll assume that the relative spacing of the grades on KU’s grade-point conversion scale should dictate the relative spacing of the grades’ middle percentages on my grading scale. I’ll start with the B+. Since a B+ is worth 3.3 grade points, and 3.3 is 30 percent of the way from a B (3.0) to an A (4.0), I want to know what number is 30 percent of the way from an 85 to a 95. That number, of course, is 88. So, that should be the middle percentage for a B+. By similar reasoning (working with 3.7 grade points for an A–), the middle percentage for an A– should be a 92. Filling in the other values analogously, I have the following:

With these middle values determined, all I need to do to figure out the corresponding ranges is to figure out the midpoints that lie between consecutive numbers:

Now, there are just a couple of further decisions I have to make. First, what should the threshold between D– and F be? For consistency with my old grading scale and for consistency between D– and the other minus grades under my new grading scale, I’ll make it 60.

Second, should a student whose percentage is equal to a threshold percentage get the letter grade just above it, or just below? For reasons of charity, I prefer to award the letter grade just above it. So, these thresholds are actually the minimum percentages for the grades just above them. That means that I can completely fill in the “minimum percentage” table I started with, but couldn’t get very far with at the time (table 3):

So that’s the way I would assign letter grades, under a complete plus/minus system. KU’s grading system, however, maxes out at A; there is no A+. So I need to make an adjustment. One way of handling this is to enlarge the intervals associated with each of the eleven remaining passing grades (A down to D–). But that would violate a lot of the constraints I’ve operated with so far, as well as being a mess.

A second option is to proportionally enlarge the intervals associated with A and A–, so that 90 remains the minimum value for A–, with 95 being the new minimum value for A. This, however, would make the unavailability of the A+ grade result in a disproportionately high percentage required in order to get an A. I think that would make A’s harder to get than they should be. A third option, my preferred one, is just to absorb the values associated with A+ into the range for A. So, the minimum value for an A would remain 93.5, and anything above that (up to 100, or higher, for that matter) would still be an A:

So those are the minimum percentages I use. In most courses, I grade individual assignments on a scale of 0 to 100, and then at the end of the semester I use Blackboard or Excel to compute each student’s final average to the nearest hundredth of a percentage point. So, in practice, my grading scale is as follows:

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, considered by itself. But it reflects the fact that the grade points aren't themselves evenly spaced: there's a difference of 0.3 between some pairs of consecutive grade points (e.g., 3.0 and 3.3), but a difference of 0.4 between some others (e.g., 3.3 and 3.7). If the grade points were more evenly spaced (e.g., 3.00, 3.33, 3.67, etc.), then the mathematical technique used above (the one used to fill in table 6) would yield more equally sized percentage-point ranges for the letter grades.

No—the grades available in a grading system don’t need to be equally spaced along whatever numerical scales (e.g., grade points or percentages) they can be correlated with.

Those numbers do seem more intuitive, but they can have some counter-intuitive consequences. To see this, suppose that, partway through the semester, a student is right in the middle of the B+ range, with an average of 88.33 (which is halfway between 86.67 and 89.99). She works hard to raise her average by 3.33 percentage points, to 91.66, which is right in the middle of the A– range (it's halfway between 90.00 and 93.33). For her efforts, she is rewarded with an extra 0.4 grade points (3.7 grade points for an A– instead of 3.3 grade points for a B+). But now suppose this same student had been right in the middle of the B range, with an average of 85. Then her 3.3-percentage-point increase would have resulted in a final average of 88.33 (right in the middle of the B+ range, as we saw above). Then, her reward for her efforts would have been only 0.3 grade points (3.3 grade points for a B+ instead of 3 grade points for a B). It seems odd that the reward a student gets for raising her grade by a certain number of percentage points should depend, in this way, on where she started. My grading scale doesn't allow this to happen, since it makes the distance from the middle to the B+ range to the middle of the A– range larger than the distance from the middle of the B range to the middle of the B+ range.

Here's another way of looking at this issue. When thinking about pluses and minuses, it is natural to take ⅓ as the default plus/minus increment: grade points would be raised and lowered by this amount, we would use percentages like 83⅓ and 86⅔, and so on. When this default is deviated from, as with our plus/minus increment of 0.3, the percentages need to be adjusted accordingly. Under the default system, a student with an 85—in the middle of the B range—would need to raise her average by 1⅔ percentage points in order to get a B+. Her reward would be an extra ⅓ grade points. If her reward is going to be less than that, then the extra work she has to do should be less, too. Specifically, if her reward is going to be only 0.3 grade points, then the extra percentage points she needs should be 1⅔ times the ratio of 0.3 to ⅓. That ratio is 0.9, and 1⅔ times 0.9 is 1½. Hence my B+ threshold of 86½ rather than 86⅔.

Calculator Instructions

  • In the top part of the form, enter how much your final exam is worth and the grade that you would like to get in the class. For example, your final test might be worth 20% of your overall grade and you want to get at least a 93% in the class. You would enter these numbers into the form.
  • In the bottom half of the form, enter a description (optional) of the classwork, the grade received for that classwork, and the weight of the classwork. Most class grades are made up of several components such as homework assignments, tests, exams, quizzes, class participation, attendance, etc. For example, a class exam might be worth 10% of your grade and you received a 95% on the test. You would enter those values into the form.
  • If you need more than four rows, press the "Add Row" button to add an additional line. You can add as many rows as you need.
  • Once you have finished entering your grades, press the "Calculate" button and the grade you need on the final exam will be displayed.

Final Grade Formula

final grade = ((g wanted x w total ) - gw) / w final

w total = w 1 + w 2 + w 3 + ... + w final

w 1 = weight of assignment #1

w final = weight of final exam

gw = g 1 x w 1 + g 2 x w 2 + g 3 x w 3 + ...

g 1 = grade for assignment #1

g wanted = grade wanted in the class

Example Calculation

Let's say your class has the following grading plan.

Now let's assume you received the following grades on your classwork.

Finally, let's assume that you want to get a 90% in the class. To determine what you need to get on your final exam in order to get a 90% in the class, let's do some math using the formula above.

First add the weight of all the class assignments together including your final:

w total = 10% + 10% + 20% + 20% + 20% = 100%

Next, multiple the grade you received on each assignment by the weight of the assignment.

gw = (91% x 10%) + (85% x 10%) + (75% x 20%) + (95% x 20%) + (97% x 20%) = 7100%

Now, calculate what you need on the final exam:

final exam grade = ((90% x 100%) - 7100%) / 20% = 95%

This is how you manually calculate your final grade. Of course, you can make your life a little easier using the calculator above!

What if my class grade is based on points rather than percentages?

Let's assume you have the following class syllabus that is based on points.

Let's assume you received the following grades.

To enter these grades in the calculator above, you first need to calculate your grade percentage for each assignment using the following formula:

grade percentage = points earned / possible points x 100

So taking your mid-term test grade as an example, we get the following:

mid-term test = 190 points earned / 200 possible points x 100 = 95%

In the weight column of the calculator, you would enter the possible points for each assignment.

Assuming you wanted to get at least a 90% in the class and your final exam is worth 250 points (i.e.the weight), you would enter the following information into the calculator.

In this example, you would need to get a 93.6% on your final in order to get a 90% in the class.

How are Grades Calculated?

Most classes use whats known as a 'weighted' system, where each group of assessments (homework assignments, essays, exams, etc.) are each worth a different proportion of your total grade.

However, it isn't as simple as adding all your points up at the end of the semester. You may get 10/10 points on your homework, and 10/10 points on a quiz, but the quiz might be worth more relative to your overall class grade.

If that sounds complicated but you're interested in learning more have a look at our guide on How to Calculate Grades , it's chock full of everything you need to know, and then some.

Grading is an essential part of the educational system. It serves as a barometer of a student’s understanding, progress, and competence in a particular subject. You can calculate your class grade by following a few easy steps.

Before you can calculate your grade, you need to understand how your grade will be determined. In many cases, class grades are weighted , with some components contributing more to the grade than others.

Most instructors will provide a syllabus at the beginning of the course that outlines the grading criteria. This might include the weighting for assignments, participation, projects, tests , a final exam , and any other components.

In many educational systems, letter grades are assigned based on the grade percentages. For instance:

This scale might vary based on the institution or the instructor’s personal criteria. Some institutions also use plus/minus grading scales where each letter grade may also have a plus (+) or minus (-) added to highlight higher or lower performance.

The next step is to calculate the grade for each of the components of the class individually.

For instance, let’s say exams are 50% of your grade, assignments are 30%, and participation is 20%. You’ll need to calculate the average grade you have for each of these components separately.

Once you have the grade for each component, you’ll need to weight them according to the weighting scale for the course. Multiply each component’s average grade by its weight.

For instance, if your final test grade is 85% and the final makes up 30% of your grade, then multiply 85% by 30% to weight the grade for this component. In this example, 0.85 × 0.3 = 0.255 .

Repeat this for each component of the grade.

The final step is to combine all of the weighted values to get your overall grade. You can also use a weighted grade calculator to find this result.

What is a grade?

A grade is a standardized measurement of academic achievement in a course. It’s a reflection of how well a student understands and applies the material they’ve learned.

Grades can be expressed as letters, as a percentage , or even as a number out of a total. They serve as a shorthand for teachers, students, educational institutions, and future employers to gauge a student’s performance in a particular subject or over an academic period.

Why are grades used?

Grades are used for several reasons:

  • Feedback: They provide students with feedback on their performance, helping them understand their strengths and areas for improvement.
  • Motivation: For many students, striving for a high grade can be a motivating factor to engage more deeply with the material.
  • Standardization: In large educational systems, grades offer a standardized way to evaluate and compare the performance of students.
  • Future Opportunities: Grades can influence opportunities for advanced courses, college admissions, scholarships, and even certain jobs.
  • Accountability: They hold educators and institutions accountable, ensuring that they are effectively teaching their students.

What is a passing grade?

A passing grade is the minimum score a student must achieve to be awarded credit for completing the class and to move forward without the need for remediation. The exact score or letter considered passing differs significantly by educational institution, course, and regional standards.

In most cases though, a grade of “D” or higher is considered passing, even though it might not be viewed as satisfactory or proficient. However, for certain advanced or specialized courses, a “C” or even a “B” might be the minimum requirement.

It’s essential for students to be aware of the specific passing criteria for each course they undertake, especially in contexts like higher education where certain courses might have prerequisites or GPA requirements for subsequent studies or career paths.
