Calculating weighted grades

[iaj]

Excellent resource! Very very well explained. Thank you for posting!

This only works if the final score is on a percentage scale or on a scale from 0 to 100. If it's on any other scale, you have to multiply the percentages you get from every score (tests, homework, etc) not by 100 but by the final score scale. Thus, what you get is the equivalent score for each "subscore" on the final score scale.

I come back here every end of the quarter to figure out what my final grades could be. This video is great

Very helpful. You're a lifesaver. Thank you!

Thanks to you I found out that if I fail my history final, I get a D, but if I pass with all the questions being 100% correct, I get an A. So I really need to study for the final

I thought all tests are divided by 100.

Before the exam, what you need in the exam 5:36

How about if every test has a passing score more than half the items of exam.? How would you give them the percentage.?

[AtarePetunia]

Can you still pass if you got low marks using this method is it going to boost your marks ??

Hi Evan,

Your presentation is very impressive. However, I want to set up a gradebook as follows for
two students using the weighted percentage method. Any help would be
most welcomed.

Here are the actual scenarios:

FIRST student obtained grades for three pieces of assignments as follow:

9/10 (1), 80/100 (1) and 30/50 (1). These were input in excel as
follows: C2=10, D2=100, E2=50; C4=9, D4=80, E4=30. The total assignment
weight is (3). Therefore, the formula I used to calculate the
overall assignment % weight is
=SUM((C4/C2*100)+(D4/D2*100)+(E4/E2*100))/H4, which gave a result of
76.67%/77%...perfect.

SECOND student got the following grades for the same three
pieces of assignments: Abs/10 (1), 50/100 (1) and 25/50 (1). The
grades were input in excel as follows: C2=10, D2=100, E2=50; C5=Abs,
D5=50, E5=25. The total assignment weight is now (2) . My problem now is
trying to use a formula to calculate the student's
overall assignment % weight without the student getting a ZERO using a
percentage weight (20%) for all three assignments for both students.

Thanks again for the assistance.

I followed this method & got 155% ??? 😂

how do you calculate a weighted grade with different weights halfway through the term?

I watched this video to learn about weighted averages in math class, you're a lifesaver, thanks!

[graceainsleigh]

okay i did this because my math teacher has my grade as a 66 and i got 153. can someone tell me my average? It’s 85% for assessments and 15% for daily grades. I have one assessment that I got a 60 on and two daily grades that are both 100.

[itscooltobeyou]

what do I do if the the midterm is worth 12.5%??? how do i coinvert that to a decimal?

[diananguyen]

thank you :) clear instructions and good examples with varying grades (i.e. that one exam that was a really doozy) to calculate the overall score

My God man where did you learn to do math. You are taking a llifetime to do something that can be done in 3 steps (add, and divide twice- that simple)...for the 4 tests I can simply add the weighted scores of 95, 80, 70, 96 = 341 then simply / by 50% given the overall value ergo 170.5 and then divide again by 4 = you get 42.65 or 43 out of 50. Done in literally 3 seconds. You are taking a lifetime! I applaud your efforts but seriously who taught you math.
