How is a weighted average grade calculated?

Multiply each assignment's percentage score by its weight (as a decimal), sum the products, then divide by the sum of the weights. For example, an assignment scored 80% with weight 30 contributes 24 to the weighted total.

How do I find out what I need on the final exam?

Use the 'Final Needed' tab. Enter your current course average, the percentage of the course already completed (the work-so-far weight), the weight of the final exam, and your target overall grade. The calculator will return the score you need on the final.

What letter grade is 75%?

On the standard US 10-point scale 75% is a C. On the UK undergraduate scale it is a 2:1 (Upper Second). The calculator shows both classifications next to your final percentage.

Can the final-needed score be over 100%?

Yes. If the calculator returns a value above 100% it means your target grade is mathematically impossible given the work already completed. You will need to lower your target or seek extra-credit options.

Can I add as many assignments as I want?

Yes. Click 'Add row' to add another assignment. The weights do not need to sum to 100 — the calculator normalises them for you.

Om karakterlommeregneren

Grade Calculator håndterer to af de mest almindelige elevspørgsmål: "hvad er min nuværende karakter?" og "hvad skal jeg have på sluteksamen?". Begge beregninger kører udelukkende i din browser — dine data sendes aldrig nogen steder.

How weighted-average grades work

Hvis dit kursus blander lektier, quizzer, midtvejsprøver og en sluteksamen, har hvert element en vægt, der angiver, hvor meget det tæller i den samlede karakter. Det vejede gennemsnit er:

Gennemsnit = Σ (score × vægt) / Σ (vægte)

For eksempel giver 90% på hjemmearbejde (vægt 20) og 70% på midtvejseksamen (vægt 30) (90·20 + 70·30) / (20+30) = (1800+2100)/50 = 78%. Lommeregneren gør dette for et vilkårligt antal rækker og normaliserer vægtene for dig, så du ikke behøver at gøre dem til nøjagtigt 100 i alt.

How the "final needed" calculation works

If you know your current course average C, the percentage of the course already graded w_now, the weight of the final w_fin, and your target overall grade T, then the required final score is:

Nødvendig = (T·(v_now + v_fin) − C·v_now) / v_fin

If the result is above 100%, the target is unreachable — the calculator will tell you so plainly.

Ofte stillede spørgsmål

Do my weights have to add up to 100? No. The calculator normalises whatever weights you enter, so you can use raw points, percentages or any other proportional scale.

What does the "Difficulty" rating mean? It compares the required final score to your current average and labels the gap (Easy, Moderate, Tough or Impossible) so you know how aggressive your target is.

Can I drop a low score? The calculator does not auto-drop scores. If your course allows the lowest grade to be dropped, simply leave that row out and the rest will average correctly.

Why does the result differ slightly from my school portal? Nogle institutioner runder forskelligt (nogle runder hvert komponent først, andre runder kun slutresultatet). For et nøjagtigt match, følg dit pensums afrundingsregler.
