Track all your assignments and calculate your current class grade. Organize by categories, set weights, drop lowest scores, and add extra credit.
Added directly to final grade
Enter grades to calculate
Organize your assignments into categories that match your syllabus (Tests, Homework, Quizzes, Projects, etc.). Assign each category a weight percentage based on your class syllabus.
Many teachers drop the lowest score(s) in certain categories. Use the "Droplet Lowest" field to specify how many scores to drop. The calculator will automatically exclude the lowest scores when calculating that category's average.
Enter any extra credit points that are added directly to your final grade. These points are added after all weighted calculations are complete.
Each category (tests, homework, etc.) has a weight showing its importance. The calculator finds the average for each category, then multiplies it by the category's weight. These weighted scores are added together for your final grade.
Some teachers drop your lowest score(s) in certain categories to give you a break. If set to 1, your lowest quiz score would be excluded from calculations. If you have 5 quizzes and drop 1, only your best 4 count.
The calculator caps the final grade at 100%. However, some teachers may allow grades above 100% - check your syllabus. Extra credit is most useful when you're close to the next letter grade.
Add placeholder assignments with your target score to see how they'd affect your grade. This helps you understand what scores you need to achieve your desired grade.
The calculator only includes categories with at least one graded assignment. Your current grade reflects only completed work. As you add more grades, your final percentage may change.
Enter each assignment with its actual points earned and maximum points. The calculator converts everything to percentages automatically before averaging.
Unweighted means all assignments count equally. Weighted means different categories (like tests vs homework) count for different percentages of your final grade, as specified in your syllabus.
Yes, if they're graded assignments you've received a 0 on (missed or failed). Don't include future assignments that haven't been graded yet, as they'll incorrectly lower your current grade.
Category-based grading systems recognize that different types of work demonstrate different skills and should be weighted accordingly. Tests might show mastery of material, homework shows consistent effort, and projects demonstrate application of knowledge.
By organizing grades into weighted categories, teachers can ensure that major assessments (like tests) have more impact than daily assignments, while still rewarding consistent work throughout the term. This system also allows for features like dropping lowest scores in specific categories.
