Understanding Weighted Grades
A weighted grade system assigns different levels of importance to different assignments or categories. This better reflects the true impact of each assignment on your final grade.
For example, if a final exam is worth 40% of your grade and homework is worth 20%, scoring 95% on the final exam has more impact than scoring 95% on homework assignments.

Common Grade Calculations
Example Scenarios
Scenario 1: Three tests worth 20% each and a final worth 40%
Test scores: 85, 90, 88; Final: 92
Final grade: (85×0.2) + (90×0.2) + (88×0.2) + (92×0.4) = 89.8%
Scenario 2: Homework (30%), Midterm (30%), Final (40%)
Homework: 95; Midterm: 88; Final: 91
Final grade: (95×0.3) + (88×0.3) + (91×0.4) = 91.4%
