How to Calculate Your Weighted Grade
Calculating your weighted grade is essential for understanding where you stand in a course. Unlike a simple average, a weighted grade takes into account that some assignments (like a final exam) are worth more than others (like a quiz).
The Formula
To find your weighted grade, multiply each assignment's grade by its weight (as a decimal), then sum all the results. The formula looks like this:
Weighted Grade = (Grade1 × Weight1) + (Grade2 × Weight2) + …
For example, if you scored 90% on a test worth 30% of your grade, the calculation is 90 × 0.30 = 27 points towards your final grade.
