How to use
- Choose weighted average if you want your current course grade, or final grade needed if you want the minimum score needed on the remaining weight.
- Enter one row per assignment group, quiz, exam, or project with its percentage score and course weight.
- Run the calculation, then read the current grade, remaining weight, and final target status together.
Wave 1 education expansion
Weighted grade and target-needed in one page
This release stays narrow on purpose: one course, assignment rows, target by percent or letter, and clear status messaging for already-secured and impossible cases.
Inputs
Enter completed items. The page computes the weighted average across the rows you entered and shows any remaining course weight separately.
Enter only completed items here. The page assumes the remaining course weight is one future item such as a final exam, then solves for the score needed to reach your target.
| Item | Score (%) | Weight (%) | Actions |
|---|
Breakdown
Run a calculation to populate the row-by-row breakdown.
What to check before trusting the result
- Weighted grade vs GPA: this page combines one course’s assignment percentages. GPA pages convert completed course grades into grade points across multiple classes.
- Final-grade-needed assumptions: the remaining weight is treated as one combined future item. If your teacher uses multiple future items with special rules, confirm the policy before relying on the number.
- Weights under or over 100%: weighted-average mode can still summarize what you entered, but final-needed mode treats totals above 100% as invalid because the grading scheme is already overfilled.
FAQ
How is weighted grade different from GPA?
A weighted course grade combines assignment percentages within one class. GPA converts finished course grades into grade points across multiple classes. Use this page for one course, not for transcript-level GPA planning.
What does the final grade needed mode assume?
It assumes the listed rows are already completed and that the remaining course weight acts like one combined future item, such as a final exam or final project. The needed score is calculated against that remaining weight.
What happens if my weights do not add up to 100%?
In weighted-average mode, the page still computes the average over the entered rows and shows the remaining weight. In final-needed mode, weights above 100% are treated as invalid because no future score can fix an overfilled grading scheme.
Can I enter a target letter grade?
Yes. In final-needed mode you can enter a letter such as A- or a numeric target such as 90. The page maps common US-style letter thresholds to percentages before calculating the needed score.
Does this page store my grades in a share link?
No. This page is designed to keep entered grades in your browser. Use the copy-results button if you want to save a text summary.
