Frequently asked questions

How do you calculate a semester grade?

Multiply each quarter, exam, or grading period grade by its weight, add the weighted contributions together, and divide by total weight.

How do I calculate what I need on my semester exam?

Subtract the quarter grade contributions from your target semester grade, then divide by the semester exam weight.

What if my weights do not add to 100%?

Use the normalize weights option to scale the entered weights, or use the entered weights exactly if that matches your school policy.

Can I use this for trimester or custom grading periods?

Yes. Use the term rows as custom grading periods or categories, then enter the grade and weight for each one.
