Calculate weighted GPA, letter grades, semester averages, and final exam requirements.
Enter each assignment, test, or category with its score and weight. The calculator computes your overall weighted average and letter grade.
In a weighted grading system, different assignments contribute different percentages to your final grade. For example, if tests are worth 50%, homework 30%, and quizzes 20%, a score of 85 on tests contributes more to your final grade than a 100 on homework. The formula is: Final Grade = Σ (Score% × Weight%) / Σ Weights%.
To find the score needed on a final exam: Required = (Target − Current × (1 − FinalWeight)) / FinalWeight. For example, if your current grade is 78%, the final is worth 30%, and you want 85% overall: Required = (0.85 − 0.78 × 0.70) / 0.30 = (0.85 − 0.546) / 0.30 = 101.3% — meaning it is mathematically impossible to reach 85% in this scenario.
