Brief history of different grading systems

In 1785, students at Yale were ranked based on "optimi" being the highest rank, followed by second optimi, inferiore (lower), and pejores (worse). At William and Mary, students were ranked as either No. 1, or No. 2, where No. 1 represented students that were first in their class, while No. 2 represented those who were "orderly, correct and attentive." Meanwhile at Harvard, students were graded based on a numerical system from 1-200 (except for math and philosophy where 1-100 was used). Later, shortly after 1883, Harvard used a system of "Classes" where students were either Class I, II, III, IV, or V, with V representing a failing grade. All of these examples show the subjective, arbitrary, and inconsistent nature with which different institutions graded their students, demonstrating the need for a more standardized, albeit equally arbitrary grading system.

In 1887, Mount Holyoke College became the first college to use letter grades similar to those commonly used today. The college used a grading scale with the letters A, B, C, D, and E, where E represented a failing grade. This grading system however, was far stricter than those commonly used today, with a failing grade being defined as anything below 75%. The college later re-defined their grading system, adding the letter F for a failing grade (still below 75%). This system of using a letter grading scale became increasingly popular within colleges and high schools, eventually leading to the letter grading systems typically used today. However, there is still significant variation regarding what may constitute an A, or whether a system uses plusses or minuses (i.e. A+ or B-), among other differences.

An alternative to the letter grading system

Letter grades provide an easy means to generalize a student's performance. They can be more effective than qualitative evaluations in situations where "right" or "wrong" answers can be easily quantified, such as an algebra exam, but alone may not provide a student with enough feedback in regards to an assessment like a written paper (which is much more subjective).

Although a written analysis of each individual student's work may be a more effective form of feedback, there exists the argument that students and parents are unlikely to read the feedback, and that teachers do not have the time to write such an analysis. There is precedence for this type of evaluation system however, in Saint Ann's School in New York City, an arts-oriented private school that does not have a letter grading system. Instead, teachers write anecdotal reports for each student. This method of evaluation focuses on promoting learning and improvement, rather than the pursuit of a certain letter grade in a course. For better or for worse however, these types of programs constitute a minority in the United States, and though the experience may be better for the student, most institutions still use a fairly standard letter grading system that students will have to adjust to. The time investment that this type of evaluation method requires of teachers/professors is likely not viable on university campuses with hundreds of students per course. As such, although there are other high schools such as Sanborn High School that approach grading in a more qualitative way, it remains to be seen whether such grading methods can be scalable. Until then, more generalized forms of grading like the letter grading system are unlikely to be entirely replaced. However, many educators already try to create an environment that limits the role that grades play in motivating students. One could argue that a combination of these two systems would likely be the most realistic, and effective way to provide a more standardized evaluation of students, while promoting learning.

Calculate your uni grade

Our university grade calculator takes a percentage mark for each of your university courses (assignments or modules) or academic years, together with the percentage or credit weighting, and returns a weighted average for the parts you have completed so far.

How do I calculate my weighted university grade?

In order to work out your weighted average grade for your university year, module, or assignment, we take the marks (or grades) multiplied by their respective weights, sum them together, and then divide the total by the sum of the weights. An example is shown below, and the calculation is shown at the bottom of the results.

Example calculation

Student A is studying a degree in Computer Science and has undertaken three modules so far. They want to calculate their average weighted grade for the three modules.

Student A's average mark is therefore calculated at 64.5%.

Unweighted calculations

If you wish to carry out an unweighted calculation, simply leave all the weight boxes blank, or make them equal. If you want to work out the mark you require on your final exam, you can use our final grade calculator tool .

What mark do I need from the rest of my course?

Our calculator can help you work out the average mark you need from the remainder of your course, in order to achieve a target percentage, so that you can see whether you're on track to achieve the grade you want.

If you have any problems using our university grade calculator, please contact us .

Important Notes

You can use our grade calculator to calculate the final exam grade you will need to achieve the overall course grade you desire. Our calculator requires you to enter the current percentage grade you have currently obtained for that course together with the weight of the final exam as a percentage value. However, if you do not know what your current grade is, for the question "Do you know your Current Grade?" select the answer "no." Enter the grades you have received for all of your assignments, homework, test, labs, and anything else that contributes to your final grade, as well as the weight of each grade. Our grade calculator will automatically calculate not only your current grade but the grade you need to achieve on your final exam to achieve the overall course grade you desire. In addition, both the minimum and maximum course overall grades will be provided.

Once you have entered the information required, the system will generate both a table and a chart that show the different final exam grades you may obtain as well as the overall course grades that go with them.

Inputting Data in our Grade Calculator

When entering your current grade and the weight of your final exam, our calculator will assume that your current grade has been based on the weight of the course prior to your final exam and calculates it as the input weight subtracted from 100%. If your current grade hasn't taken your coursework into account, the generated results will not be accurate.

Similar to the above, if you don't know what your current grade is and you enter both the coursework grades and the associated weights into the calculator, the calculator will automatically calculate your current grade and the weight of the final exam. In this situation, the weight of your final exam is calculated by taking the sum of the weight of your course work subtracted from 100%. With that in mind, if you enter too many or not enough assignments, the weight of the final exam that is calculated will most likely not match the actual weight of the final exam in your chosen course.

    How to calculate your grade

With the help of this grade calculator you can calculate your current weighted grade or unweighted grade in terms of percentage, letter grade, or GPA. The tool will also output the weight of all remaining exams, and assignments and has the option of calculating the minimum score you need to obtain on a final exam in order to achieve a target overall grade for a class or course.

To use the calculator, enter the number of grades you currently have, then each grade as a percent or letter grade , and finally the weight each grade adds towards the overall. If no weights are entered, the weights are assumed equal and the calculator will output the unweighted average grade. Otherwise a weighted average grade will be produced in terms of percentage, GPA, and a letter grade.

    What grade do I need on my final?

If you haven't yet got a score on the final exam for a given class, you can use this tool as a final grade calculator. In order to achieve a given grade goal for the entire class, course, or semester, a given minimum grade is required on the final exam, depending on both the weighted average grade to that date, and the weight of the final on the overall grade. This minimum required score can be calculated using the following formula:

Required final score = (Grade Goal - Current Grade x (100% - Weight of Final(%))) / Weight of Final(%)

The current grade is calculated based on the weighted average of all marks to date. The weight of the final test is calculated as 100% minus the combined weight of all grades to date. Therefore, if the combined weight of the scores you enter is 65% then the final exam will have a weight of 100% - 65% = 35%.

    How to convert a grade to percentage?

Our grade calculator uses the following table to convert letter grades to percentages. Note that since this is not a universally applicable table, ideally one would want to know the exact percentage scores and use these as input for the calculator, otherwise the results may be slightly off.

Again, it is our recommendation that you check with your local school or college and enter percentage grades instead of letter grades for the most accurate calculation. Note that while U.S. colleges and schools are likely to use the above grading, educational institutions in other countries may use a vastly different GPA scale.

Missing Grades Make the Math More Complicated

The reason we need these calculators, 6 ways to evaluate student progress, grade calculators: useful tools to show you what you've accomplished and help plan your next move.

A weighted grading calculator can be a lifesaver for students who need to know where they stand at any point in the grading period. These convenient programs save time and give students and teachers quick, accurate information. But what is it they do? This article will investigate what functions grade calculators perform, how they operate, and why we have grades in the first place.

Where You Are and How to Get Where You're Going

The three calculators above can help teachers and students answer urgent questions about grades in seconds. First, the Grade Calculator computes a weighted average for any course, accepting both number and letter grades.

In addition, the Final Grade Planning Calculator displays the grade needed on outstanding assignments to reach a target final grade. Also, the Final Grade Calculator determines what a student needs to score on their final exam to reach their target final grade.

Compared to the normal average, a weighted average requires more calculations. When you figure out a weighted average, the many numbers you use are given varying weights or values in relation to one another. This phenomenon occurs in most high-school and college courses, where different assignment types are worth different percentages of the final grade. A course grade calculator makes finding weighted averages quick and accurate.

In addition, many students become concerned near the end of a quarter, semester, or year. They often worry that they will not get a good grade, but they can rely on a Final Grade Planning Calculator to tell them how to perform to reach their desired goal.

Similarly, students often need to achieve a specific score on their final project or exam to get the desired grade. In this case, a Final Grade Calculator lets them know how hard they must work to get where they need to go.

Suppose a grading period is over and all grades are accounted for. In that case, a student can use the Grade Calculator to ensure the teacher made no mathematical errors. In this example, the student enters each assignment, grade, and weight into the calculator.

After clicking "Calculate," the Grade calculator provides a numerical and letter grade.

Average Grade: 87.7 (B+)

Provided there are still grades or categories outstanding, enter the target final grade and the weight percentage weight of the outstanding assignments.

After hitting "Calculate," the Final Grade Planning Calculator will display the current weighted average and the score required on outstanding work to achieve the desired final grade.

• Average grade: 85.0 (B).
• A grade of 95.0 is needed for the remaining 30% of tasks to ensure a final grade of 88.

When all grades other than the final exam are accounted for, enter the current weighted average grade, target grade, and final exam weight in the Final Grade Calculator. Click the Calculate button.

• Your current grade: 79
• The grade you want: 85
• Your final is worth: 35%

The Final Grade Calculator will display the final exam grade necessary to attain the desired final grade.

Result You will need a grade of 96.1 or higher on the final.

Weighted averages include numbers with different abilities to skew the average—thus the term "weighted." Unfortunately, many students (and some teachers!) don't understand how to calculate grades using weighted averages because they require more calculations than simple ones.

Suppose you're attempting to figure out your grade in a class where different assignments are worth varying percentages of your final grade. In that case, you might need to determine a weighted average. Whether the sum of your weights equals 1 (or 100%) will affect the method you employ.

It's Pretty Simple When You Have All the Data

To calculate a weighted average where the total weights equal 1, multiply each grade by its corresponding weight and add them all up. Rendered mathematically: g1(w1) + g2(w2) + g3(w3), and so on, where g is each grade and w is the corresponding weight. Of course, most syllabi list weights as percentages, so you will need to convert them into decimals first. For example, 25% equals 0.25; therefore, 100% equals 1.

The math is slightly different when some grades are missing, and the total weights equal less than one. This happens when you use the Final Grade Planning Calculator to determine your current weighted average and the score needed on the outstanding work to get the final grade you want.

Mathematically, you would figure out the weighted average the same way. However, you need to take the sum of each grade (weight) and divide it by the total weight of the known grades (in decimal form).

The formula would be Σgw/Σw where Σgw is the sum of each grade (weight) and Σw is the sum of all weights in decimal form.

The complexity of these calculations makes a weighted grade calculator a lifesaver for students.

Grading is a comparatively recent invention. Since 1785, students at Yale have been receiving the Latin equivalents of the words best (optimi), worse (inferiores), and worst (peiores). So, Yale was the first university in the United States to assign grades.

Before that, American colleges followed the Oxford and Cambridge models, which required frequent attendance at lectures and a weekly dialogue between the student and their proctor, both in person and in writing.

When the proctor or panel of other professors thought the students had shown an appropriate grasp of the subject, the course was declared complete. The faculty gave no grade. A prospective employer could only compare a student's qualifications through reference letters.

Universities experimented with a wide variety of systems during the 19th century. For example, Yale used scales ranging from four to nine points. The professors at Harvard experimented with 20 and 100-point scales before deciding that grouping students into five classes, with the lowest class failing the course, was the best they could do.

To assist professors in evaluating students, William and Mary public research University in the U.S. used the categories: "orderly, accurate, and attentive" or "they have learned little or nothing."

Because of the significant increases in immigration and the emergence of regulations requiring compulsory attendance, schools were overcrowded at the beginning of the 20th century. As a result, teachers and administrators needed an effective, standardized method for testing and grading many pupils. These circumstances naturally led to the nationwide standardization of school grading.

Our calculators use the percentages and letter grades common in the U.S. However, there are many other ways to assess student progress. Here is a quick list of common grading alternatives:

• A percentage ranging from 0% to 100%.
• Letter Grades with Variations (A, C+, B-).
• Standard-Based. Students receive marks relative to specific knowledge in the curriculum.
• Mastery-Based Grading. Students have the time to master a skill before moving to another.
• Narrative-Based Grading. Students receive lengthy written feedback about their performance in class.

It may seem that the student grading system has been around forever. However, before the 20th century, the grading systems we now know did not exist.

We still worry about how to determine our grades when each type of assignment has its own "weight." We wonder what we need to get on the final exam to pass.

Our grade calculator can't give you the knowledge to handle every assignment. But he can reassure you by telling you where you are and what results you need to achieve.

Semester Grade Calculator: An Useful Tool For Calculating Semester Grade

You are probably seeking calculators that are easy to use and informative, quotient the right answers, and even calibrate specific evolutions or aren’t averages for various grading scales and the capacity to adapt different types of assignments (e. g. handouts, worksheets; online exercises, quizzes; homework assignments, projects, tests, etc.). I am sure that you need an instrument to facilitate and clarify the calculation of semester grades and related subject progress.

How To Use Semester Grade Calculator

A semester grade calculator is easy to work with and it enables a learner to calculate the GPA for the current study period. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to use it:

Step 1: Gather Your Information:

Provide a comprehensive list of all the courses that were undertaken in the semester. Record the grades you attained for each course. Be aware of the credit hours or units’ status for each of the courses.

Step 2: Enter Course Details:

So open the semester grade calculator. Track the entry of the names or codes of each course.

Enter the actual grade you got in each course. Grading an assignment on a calculator is achieved by entering letter grades (A, B, C, etc.) and the grades are automatically converted to corresponding grade points (e. g. , A=4. 0, B=3. 0).

Step 3: Input Credit Hours:

It then requires the number of credit hours (or units) for each course. This translates into the weight of the particular course in GPA computation.

Step 4: Calculate:

Once all the courses and corresponding grades and credit hours have been entered, the calculator will compute the semester GPA automatically.

Step 5: Review Results:

Refer to the calculated grade point average to see whether it meets the set goal.

How to Calculate Semester Grade

Calculating a semester grade involves four main steps. Let's look at a couple of examples to illustrate this process:

Imagine your grades are 75%, 80%, and 85% for each term, with corresponding weights of 0.3, 0.3, and 0.4 respectively:

Multiply your first term's grade by its weight:

75% × 0.3 = 22.5%

Multiply your second term's grade by its weight:

80% × 0.3 = 24%

Multiply your final term's grade by its weight:

85% × 0.4 = 34%

Sum these values to get your semester grade:

Semester grade = 22.5% + 24% + 34% = 80.5%

Suppose your grades are 90%, 85%, and 95% for each term, and the weights are 0.2, 0.3, and 0.5:

90% × 0.2 = 18%

85% × 0.3 = 25.5%

95% × 0.5 = 47.5%

Sum these values to calculate your semester grade:

Semester grade = 18% + 25.5% + 47.5% = 91%

Features Of A Semester Grade Calculator

The first outstanding feature of the semester grade calculator is its user-friendly interface. With simplicity and clear navigation, users can easily use this calculator by entering the inputs and calculating the output, as well as resetting and recalculating the semester grade.

The second feature is that the semester grade calculator provides customizable options for different grading scales. No matter if you are using the 4.0 or 5.0 scale, this calculator allows you to calculate your grade accurately.

The third characteristic is the ability to input various types of assignments. Students can enter the quizzes, homework, projects, and exams and the corresponding point earned to calculate the final result.

Grade Calculator

Grade Calculator lets you find the weighted percentage and letter grades for all of your assignments or exams.

About Grade Calculator

Welcome to our Grade Calculator. It's a free and easy-to-use online tool to calculate weighted average grades. In addition, it lets you compute the grades in percentages, letters, or points.

Just select the grade type and input the assignment names, grades, and weights. Lastly, press the "Calculate" button to see the final result.

How to Calculate Weighted Grade?

To calculate a weighted grade, you need to assign different weights or percentages to each assignment. Such as projects, midterms, homework, and quizzes, and then multiply the grade earned in each assignment by its corresponding weight. Finally, add up these weighted grades and divide them by the sum of weights to obtain an overall weighted grade.

Here's an example:

Suppose there are three categories of assignments:

• Projects (weight of 35%)
• Midterms (weight of 40%)
• Homework (weight of 25%)

A student earns the following grades in each category:

• Projects - 75%
• Midterms - 90%
• Homework - 82%

Weighted grade = (project grade × 35%) + (midterm grade × 40%) + (homework grade × 25%) / 35 + 40 + 25

= (75 × 35) + (90 × 40) + (82 × 25) / 100

= (2625 + 3600 + 2050) / 100

= 8275 / 100

Therefore, the student's overall weighted grade for the course is 82.75% .

How to use Grade Calculator?

Before getting started, ask your teacher, how much each assignment category is worth. Also, you can check it out from the course syllabus. Because it will be needed for the grade calculation.

• Firstly, select the grade type. Our tool gives you access to enter the grades in three formats. Percentage, Letters, and Points. So, choose the required one of them.
• After choosing the grade type, enter the assignment category name. Such as projects, quizzes, homework, midterm, etc.

How to calculate weighted grade average?

• First multiple the grade received by the weight of the assignment. Repeat this for each completed assignment.
• Then add each of the calculated values from step 1 together.
• Next add the weight of all the completed assignments together.
• Finally, divide the calculated value from step 2 above by the value calculated from step 3. This gives you the weighted grade average.

Weighted Grade Formula

Weighted Grade = (w 1 x g 1 + w 2 x g 2 + w 3 x g 3 + …) / (w 1 + w 2 + w 3 + …)

Example Calculation

Here is an example. Let's say you received a 90% on your first assignment and it was worth 10% of the class grade. Then let's assume you took a test and received an 80% on it. The test was worth 20% of your grade.

To calculate your average grade, follow these steps:

• Multiple each grade by its weight. In this example, you received a 90% on the first assignment and it was worth 10%. So multiply 90 x 10 = 900. You also received an 80% on the test and it was worth 20% of the class grade. So multiply 80 x 20 = 1600.
• Add the calculated values from step 1 together. We now have 900 + 1600 = 2500.
• Add the weight of all the completed assignments together. To do this, add 10% for the first assignment and 20% for the second assignment. That gives us 10 + 20 = 30.
• Finally, divide the value from step 2 by the value from step 3. That gives us 2500 / 30 = 83.33. Therefore our weighted grade average is 83.33%.

Grade Calculator

Grade calculator is a free online tool to calculate weighted average grades. Also, it supports percentage, letter, and point grades.

Final Grade Calculator | GPA Calculator | Weighted Average Calculator | Test Calculator

Student life is literary full of grades, marks, and percentages. If you are in school or college then grade calculator will surely help you by calculating your class or semester grades. Also, you can know your subject’s abilities using this tool. Even more, it helps you to set up goals for the next exam preparation.

About Grade Calculator

You can use your mobile or computer calculator for calculating grades manually. But it’s not a convenient way to do so. Also, it will take a lot of time to figure out. Most importantly, no one can guarantee that the end result is true or not. That’s why it is recommended to use our grade calculator to make this task easier and faster. Also, it will never give false results. Because it is working on programmed algorithms.

Definition, Formula & Calculation

Firstly, let’s discuss the definition of grade calculation.

Definition: The weighted grade is equal to the sum of weight(W) in percentage(%) multiply by grades(G). So, the formula will be like this:

Now let’s take some examples to understand it more deeply.

Assume that:

Math course with a grade of 90 and a weight of 20%. Physics course with a grade of 80 and a weight of 40%. Social Science course with a grade of 85 and a weight of 25%.

So, the weighted grade calculation is as below:

Weighted Grade = w 1 × g 1 + w 2 × g 2 + w 3 × g 3 = (20% × 90) + (40% × 80) + (25% × 85) = 18 + 32 + 21.25 = 71.25

Now, if the weights are not in percentage (if it’s in hours or points) then we need to divide achieved grades by the sum of all weights.

Therefore, the calculation for these three subjects will look like this:

So, the final calculation is: (20×90) + (40×80) + (25×85) / (20 + 40 + 25) = 7125 / 85 = 83.82

Let’s take:

5 points Math course with a grade of 90. 4 points Physics course with a grade of 85. 2 points Social Science course with a grade of 75.

So, the Grade = (W 1 × G 1 + W 2 × G 2 + W 3 × G 3 ) / (W 1 + W 2 + W 3 ) (5×90 + 4×85 + 2×75) / (5 + 4 + 2) = (450 + 336 + 150) / 11 = 85.09

Above all calculations are used to calculate your exam or semester grades. But it’s complex when you do it manually. So, it’s better to use the grade calculator to make it faster and easier.

Most importantly, you must have to set your aim to do more productive preparation. Therefore, aim for the grade that you want and use our calculator to track the results. Also, you can know what needs to achieve your aim. In addition, it will also motivate you to study harder.

How to use Grade Calculator?

• Firstly, it’s an online service. So, make sure you have a device with a proper Internet connection.
• Then open any browser like chrome, safari, or firefox and visit the Grade Calculator .
• When it completely loads up, you will see some empty fields.
• So, enter the grade and weight values one by one as needed.
• In addition, it supports percentage, letters, and points grade calculation. So, you can select any one of them.
• After entering values, just click on the “Calculate” button.
• As a result, you will get Average Grade, Grade Calculation, and Additional Grade Needed with a bar graph.

Are you still confused about how to use the calculator? Here are the step-by-step instructions with screenshots that you can follow and do the calculation easily.

Setp 1: Choose the Calculation Type

Firstly, choose which type of calculation you want to do. There are three options: Percentages, Letters, and Points.

Step 2: Enter the Values

Now the second step is entering the values. Most importantly, you have to enter the values as per the selected calculation type.

If you choose the Percentage then you have to enter Grade(%) and Weight.

If you are calculating Letters then firstly, you can select the grade from dropdown options and then enter the credits.

For Points calculation, you can enter Grade(in points) and Max Grade(it’s optional).

Step 3: Enter Goal or Required Grade

Another useful option in the grade calculator is you can set your goal grade. So, you can find how much more grade is required to reach your goal. But it’s optional. So, you can leave it if you don’t want to use it. However, if you use it then you can see the additional grade needed to reach the aim grade.

Step 4: Calculate

Lastly, you can press the “Calculate” button to get the final result on your screen. Also, you can add rows by entering the “Add Row” button for more subjects.

Step 5: Get Output

Finally, you will get the output with a bar chart. Even more, you will get a GPA for letters calculation and Total Grades in points calculation.

So, now you can understand the proper way to use the calculator. Use it to check your grade and share it with your friends.

Before we get into the nitty gritty of how to use this final grade calculator or the justification for using it, it is worth making sure we are all on the same page and know what we mean by final grade. The final grade of a subject or of a semester is the score of all of your relevant grades and their average according to their individual weights. This might seem complicated but it's easier than it looks.

For many subjects, the final grade is the grade you would get in the final (and only) exam . If this is your case, close the browser and get to studying — you're not trying to calculate anything, you're procrastinating 😜 In many other cases, one subject might have multiple tests that can range from smaller mid-term exams to written coursework and essays to oral presentations. In those cases, you need to know the weight of each of the forms of examination.

The weight of each of these exams is no more than a mathematical representation of their importance . Generally, the weights are expressed as a percentage of the total grade or as a number from 0 to 1, which represents the same concept.

There is also the final semester grade, which you can obtain using this calculator. The final semester grade is the combination of all the grades of all the subjects you took in a given semester. Generally, these grades tend to have the same weight, but sometimes different subjects have different credit counts or a different impact on your final degree . In the latter case, the weighting system works the same as in the case of an individual subject with multiple examination processes.

There are multiple grading systems with different values and nomenclatures, so we have to settle for one as the default for any future example we will make. For simplicity, our exemplary grading system will range from 0 to 100, with a passing grade to be determined by the user. We will explain this in more detail when we talk about how to use this calculator .

When it comes to the grades in your degree, we all know they don't necessarily represent your level of knowledge. However, we don't have a better way to assess someone's abilities without performing another exam or undergoing a hands-on testing period. It is for this reason that final grades matter.

When you apply for a job, one of the key things people will look at (especially if you don't have any work experience) will be your final grades. Generally speaking, there is a perception that your final grades are a good indicator of how good of an employee you will be, so, even if you think it's not worth it, aiming for a higher grade can be beneficial for your future.

Increasingly, though, more and more companies are switching their focus from knowledge markers (such as your semester grades) to personality or aptitude markers (such as wide range of interests or personal projects), which is a good thing. This move releases some pressure from the exams themselves, leaving students freer to focus on learning the material rather than learning to pass the exam with high grades.

Grades are still crucial, and will probably remain crucial for a long time, in grants and subsidy programs. When you apply for a grant, there are many factors taken into account, but almost always your average grade is one of them.

It's time to talk about the confusing mess that is the vast variety of different grading systems . On the one hand, you have simple grading systems, like the Spanish one, 0-10 with 5 being a passing grade, or systems with points 1-5 with 3 being a passing grade, as they do in countries like Poland & Norway. All of these are numerical systems that allow for easy conversion between them.

Then, things start to get complicated when we look at the USA and their grading system that uses letters from A to F (generally skipping the letter E). Which seem easy and intuitive when you compare it to the Australian system, where either HD, D, Cr or P means passing (with different levels of success), and F means failing. You can be forgiven for thinking this makes conversions really hard and makes it very difficult to translate your grade from one country to another.

However, the letters in the North American and Australian grading system have the same meaning as the numbers in the other systems; in fact, the Polish system has an almost 1-to-1 equivalence with the system in the United States of America .

More over, most of the grading systems are defined in terms of the percentage of the maximum grade. So, for example, Cr in Australia means 60-69% of the total grade which would mean a D in the USA, a 3 in Poland and a 6 in Spain. So at the end of the day, converting from one grading system to another is as easy as converting from a fraction to a percentage, and looking up the resultant value in a table.

One question you might be asking yourself is: What grade do I need on my final exam? , and although it might be a lazy question to ask, it's also a very good one if you need to manage your time efficiently. Let's take a look at a very common situation that happens to students during their finals period.

Let's assume you're an average student, and let's say you've done well, but not excellent in your subjects. Now, your finals are right around the corner and your goals are twofold: first and foremost you want to pass all of your subjects , and, given you achieve the first goal, you want as high a grade as you can possibly get in each of them.

But time is finite and so is your attention . So one way you could go about it would be to answer that question you already have: " What grade do I need on my final? " for every subject. By knowing this you can dedicate more time to those subjects that you either find harder or for which you need a higher grade on your final exam.

Assuming you will pass all your subjects, you can later focus on the subjects that would be more relevant for your future career or that you like the best. This might sound like indulging, but it is also the most efficient solution, since liking something increases your motivation and your will to put effort into it.

Now that you know how important it can be to know what grade you need in your next exam, let's use our final grade calculator and show you how to calculate your final grade. Our calculator is not limited to final exams; it can both work as a semester grade calculator or as a finals calculator, as we will see now.

So it's time to learn how to calculate grades using our finals calculator or final grade calculator. Either is fine by us, as long as it's helpful for you. First thing you should do, though, is to familiarize yourself with the calculator.

This calculator has 2 modes of finding your final grade - either from your current grade , or the combined grade of your previous exams . The first mode is effectively the same as the second mode if you only had one exam before the final exam. In the second mode (previous exams) you can add up to 9 different exams which will appear as you need them. Each exam has its own weight towards the final grade.

In both modes you also get the option of using your desired grading system. So you can choose between percentage and pure numbers if your grading system is numerical, or, if you use letters, choose your system from the list.

If your grading system doesn't appear in the list, feel free to send us an email and we will add it as soon as we can!

Now let's take a look at a simple example . Let's say you've enrolled in a subject that is coming to an end. There is only the final exam left before you finish the subject, and throughout the semester you've been set small projects and mid-term exams, so that now your current average grade for this subject sits at 65% of the total points you could've gotten. Let's also assume that the final exam grade is 70% of the total grade of the subject.

This means that you have already collected (1-0.7) * 0.65 * 100 = 19.5% of the total grade. Let's talk about a grading system in terms of 100 points; if you did not get any point on the final exam you would get a final grade of 19.5 points. Now to calculate what grade you need on your final, we need to find out how many points you need to pass. Let's say a passing grade is 50 points.

So, that means you need 50-19.5 = 30.5 points to pass. Since the final exam carries 70% of the final grade, it means that those 30.5 points in the final grade translate to 30.5 / 0.7 = 43.6 points . So, by getting 43.6% of the final exam correct, you are guaranteed to pass the subject . But, please, aim higher than that; just in case ;)

We have touched lightly on the fact that grades do not mean knowledge , so let's expand a bit more on that, almost counter-intuitive, statement. In an ideal world, the exams and tests you have to do to pass a subject would be perfectly designed so that you could only pass if you knew enough. On top of that, since we're talking about the perfect scenario, your grade would exactly represent your level of knowledge in the subject.

However, an exam like this would require a lot of research and planning, would probably need be tailor-made for each student, and would have to be completely different from one year to the next so as to avoid students from just studying previous exams. As you can clearly see, it is far from practical and borderline impossible to achieve this goal in a world where time is limited (as is the capacity of professors, they are only human you know).

Enter Real World™ compromises . Professors (and teachers) have limited time and need to optimize it, so, for example, having the same type of exam with different questions from year to year is a good and very common compromise.

Another compromise that professors are very likely to do is to only select a few relevant topics from the subject, instead of having questions about everything they taught in the course. This allows exams to be short enough to be done in just a couple of hours as opposed to the several days that it could take to go over the whole subject.

All these compromises allow for exams to actually be performed, but at the cost of truly representing the knowledge of the student . If done correctly, there should still be a high correlation between the knowledge you have and the grade you get, but some times there can be huge disparities.

In the worst case, you might have to decide if you'd rather have great knowledge and an average grade or an amazing grade and sub-par knowledge . In general, we would recommend aiming for knowledge, but you are probably the best judge if you are in this unfortunate situation.

If you are using this calculator you probably haven't done your exams yet... but at some point, you'll be done with them and you will have to stop asking " what grade do I need on my final? " and start asking " and now what? ". If you have finished one of the many years of your studies, enjoy a well-deserved break and clear your head from the stressful exam period. However, if you have just finished high school, college or maybe completed all your university studies, you might be far from done .

The next steps to take are very important in deciding your future, and the most likely thing you would have to (or at least want to) is apply either for your next stage in your education, or for a job. For either of them, it's important to know how to show your capabilities, interests, and knowledge to those who haven't met you yet. A good CV, a well crafted motivational letter and not giving up are some things that will help you succeed in getting that position you aim for.

Here at Omni we cannot write your motivational letter or polish your CV, but still, we would like to offer as much help as we can. As we have discussed, your grades are a typical way to prove your knowledge, but not all places use the same grading system. Fear not, because here is where our Omnicalculators can prove very helpful for you .

For starters you can calculate your high school GPA or your college GPA . These can be very important if you're applying for a position abroad since GPA is the de facto international standard for grades. What's more, some colleges have their own way to re-evaluate your grades ; generally using a weighted average .

One of the biggest problems associated with final exams is anxiety/stress . As we have mentioned before, getting good grades can be crucial at certain points in your life. Add to this that exams grow in importance as we get older and we barely face any final exams once we are an adult, and that's a recipe for real anxiety problems.

One very important thing to realize (and it's almost impossible to do so before a certain age) is that nothing is really "written in stone". We all remember that when we sat our first really important exam, we felt almost like we were in a "life or death" situation... then as years passed we realized that exams are not always as important as we thought , and that second chances are more common than it seemed to us when we were younger.

That is not to say that exams don't matter, and that there's always another chance - not at all. However, there is a level of stress and anxiety that is very unhealthy and counter-productive , and we should try to avoid that at all cost. And for that, it's important to keep in mind that there not a single "life-deciding" exam.

Life tends to be the result of multiple important and unimportant decisions , and none of them is 100% responsible for our future. As cheesy as that line is, there are many many examples of very successful, highly realized people that did not pass any of the exams that we would consider "hard requirements" to achieve their success; think Steve Jobs dropping out of college if you're out of examples.

Then again, those are just the exceptions to the rule. So the takeaway, if there's any to be gotten from a calculator, is that you're better off getting as high a grade as you can possibly get... but to remember there is always another way to your destination. As it was inscribed on the cover of the standard repository of all knowledge and wisdom : Don't Panic!

How do I calculate my final grade?

To calculate which grade you will get from your class:

Determine the percentage or weight of your tasks and exams from your syllabus (E.g., 25% for presentations and 75% for your final exam);

Multiply your scores by the percentage weight . For example, if you got 84 out of 100 on your final exam, you will calculate this way: 84 × 0.75 = 63 ;

Sum up your results from all sections; and

Your final answer will be your grade for the given subject in percentage.

What score do I need to get an A?

To get an A, you typically need to score 90% or more in your exams. However, this answer also depends on your grading systems and your syllabus.

How much is needed to pass GCSE exam?

According to the latest update in 2022, you need at least Grade 4 to pass GCSE exams . Generally, Grade 4 is considered a standard pass grade, while Grade 5 is regarded as a strong pass .

What is my final exam percentage if I scored 15 over 20?

75%. Your calculation is 15/20 × 100 . Note that this might not be your final grade if there are other tasks or scores to be included from your class.

Try to follow the grading criteria of your subject. There are specific topics and main points that teachers focus on when they grade your exams.

If your subjects contain open-ended questions and presentations , knowing the main objectives will help you focus on your performance; or

If your subjects are theory-based with calculations or specific answers , make sure you revise your lectures frequently and do lots of practice exercises.

Important Notes

Our Final Exam Grade Calculator calculates the final exam grade you would need to get a desired overall course grade and would require you to input your current course percentage grade as well as the weight of the final as a percentage. If you do not know your current grade, you would need to select "no" on the question "Do you know your Current Grade?" and then input the grades you received for your assignments, tests, homework, labs, etc. as well as the weight as a percentage of each. Our grade calculator automatically calculates your current grade as well as the grade needed on the final exam to get your desired overall course grade! Not only that but the minimum and maximum course overall course grades are also calculated. Furthermore, a table and chart of the different possible final exam grades and their corresponding overall course grades are also generated, all automatically.

Inputting Data in our Final Exam Calculator

When inputting your Current Grade and the Weight of the Final, our calculator automatically assumes that your current grade is based is based on weight of your course prior to the final exam and is calculated as 100% minus the inputted weight of the final. If your current grade does not account for all the course work (assignments, labs, tests, homework, etc.) prior to your final exam then the calculator results will not be accurate for you.

Similarly, if you don’t know your Current Grade and you input your course work and corresponding grades and weights into our calculator, the calculator automatically calculates your current grade as well as the Weight of the Final. In this case the weight of the final is simply calculated as 100% minus the Sum of the Weights of your course work. Thus if you inputted too many or too little assignments, tests, etc. then the Weight of the Final calculated may not match the actual weight of the final in your course.

Final Grade Calculator

This tool will determine what grade (percentage) you need on your final exam in order to get a certain grade in a class.

Your current grade is %.

You want (at least) a % in the class.

Your final is worth % of your grade.

Calculate what I need on the final

Since you’ve already taken your final exam, you can now calculate your overall grade.

Your grade was % before.

You got a % on the final.

Calculate my overall grade

If your final is in the “tests” category, then your overall grade will be affected by your current test average and how many tests you’ve taken so far.

Tests are worth % of your grade.

You have taken tests already.

Your test average is %.

The final is worth tests.

If your final has multiple parts and you’ve finished some of them, then you can calculate what you need on the remaining parts. Your current grade should not include any part of your final.

You have parts to your final.

You have taken part(s) already.

Your 1st part is worth points.

Your 2nd part is worth points.

Your 3rd part is worth points.

Your 4th part is worth points.

Your 5th part is worth points.

Your 6th part is worth points.

Your 7th part is worth points.

Your 8th part is worth points.

On part 1, you got points.

On part 2, you got points.

On part 3, you got points.

On part 4, you got points.

On part 5, you got points.

On part 6, you got points.

On part 7, you got points.

Calculate what I need on the rest of the final

You can calculate how much your final is worth by dividing the number of points in your final by the total number of points.

Including the final, there are points possible.

Your final is worth points.

Calculate how much my final is worth

Your overall grade depends on how low your lowest test grades are. If your final replaces your lowest test grade, then tell the calculator that your lowest 1 test is dropped and your final also counts as 1 test.

Your have taken tests already.

Your lowest tests are dropped.

Lowest test grade was %.

2nd lowest test was %.

3rd lowest test was %.

4th lowest test was %.

5th lowest test was %.

6th lowest test was %.

7th lowest test was %.

8th lowest test was %.

Your final also counts as tests.

Your final is also worth % of your grade.

Have another question? Try one of these:

• I took the final. What’s my overall grade?
• My final counts as a test. What do I need to get?
• There are 2+ parts in my final. What do I have to get on them?
• My class has a point system. How much is the final worth?
• My lowest test grade is dropped. What do I need to get?
• I need something else (advanced mode) .

How does this work? Most class grades are made up of several categories: homework, classwork, tests/quizzes, and the final exam. Usually, each category is worth a percentage of your overall grade. But because your final exam isn't scored until the very end, it isn't included when calculating your current overall grade. Instead, all the other categories are scaled up to consume the weight reserved for the final exam. Therefore, you can calculate the minimum grade you need to score on the final exam using the formula:

Required = (Goal − Current × (100% − Final Weight)) / Final Weight

See the formula sheet for an explanation of this formula and other formulas used in this calculator. It's not rocket science, it's just math! You could, of course, do this on any calculator, but you're here on RogerHub because it's cool. (:

I need more help! Try one of the different calculator modes listed above. The advanced mode handles many different kinds of situations, such as:

• If you have more tests and homework before the final
• When your final counts as a test grade
• Dropping the lowest test grades
• Makeup assignments or test retakes
• Extra credit
• Missing assignments

Are electric cars better for the environment than fuel-powered cars? Here's the verdict

Whether you drive an electric car or are considering making the switch, you've probably been drawn into a discussion about whether they are really better for the climate.

Electric cars are key to the world reducing emissions, with transport accounting for almost 20 per cent and rising, so you probably haven't had that debate for the last time.

To save you from your next barbecue encounter, we have turned to the EV Council, which has crunched the numbers for you.

We're comparing an electric car and a traditional petrol one and looking at the life-cycle emissions — that is, all the emissions produced from cradle to grave.

For both types of car, these are the key stages where emissions are produced:

• manufacturing of the car,
• production of the battery, especially for electric cars
• running the cars over their life-cycle, either on petrol or electricity
• disposal and recycling of the vehicle at the end of its life, including batteries

We'll also compare electric cars in different states because each state uses different amounts of fossil fuels for electricity, which affects how "clean" the car is.

To compare cars, we've chosen an average medium SUV, the sort of car you commonly see on Australian roads.

Some examples of a medium SUV are the electric Tesla Model Y, Toyota's RAV4 and the Mazda CX-5 on the petrol side.

So, buckle up and let's go.

Let's start at when the car is made

Manufacturing covers the production of the raw materials in the car's metal body, interiors, tyres, seating, the whole bundle. At this first stage, all these cars come out with similar emissions profiles.

… adding batteries for EVs

Battery production is the stage where we start to see a split between petrol and electric cars.

Electric vehicles (EV) are powered by batteries, so their batteries are significantly larger and heavier, and use more critical minerals. Our electric SUV also needs a bigger battery than a small hatchback.

It's important to note that this is about life-cycle emissions, so we aren't evaluating other environmental or human rights impacts from battery production for EVs, and we're also not critiquing the oil industry in those areas for petrol cars. That barbecue debate is for another day.

Batteries produced in China have higher emissions than those produced in Europe, and as most Australian electric cars currently have Chinese-made batteries, that's what's used here.

Climate experts and even the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change expect these figures to drop as more renewable energy is used in the coming years to make the batteries.

"So the energy needed to produce batteries is decarbonised, and therefore has lower emissions," according to University of Technology Sydney transport researcher, Robin Smit.

So at this point, before the cars hit the road, electric cars have more embedded emissions.

But that all changes when you start driving …

Taking our cars on the road

It won't shock you to find out that most of a car's lifetime emissions come from powering it to drive.

"The fuel energy cycle is normally the most important part of the life-cycle assessment [and] that includes on-road driving, the maintenance, and of course, the production of the energy," Professor Smit said.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) estimates the average Australian car drives about 12,600 kilometres a year, or 189,000 over its lifetime, so that is what's used in this modelling.

Petrol cars are dirty. That's a fact. Combustion cars are powered by burning petrol, which releases emissions into the atmosphere and is — pardon the pun — a major climate change driver. These are referred to as "tailpipe emissions".

The petrol SUV here is up against an electric SUV charged on the national grid, which has a mix of fossil fuels and renewables.

Our petrol SUV produces almost 46 tonnes of carbon over its lifetime on the road.

These figures also factor in the emissions coming from refining and transporting the fuel.

"When you look at fossil fuels, they need to be extracted, processed, and then transported to service stations, for example, to make them available. So there's a greenhouse gas emission costs associated with that," Professor Smit said.

The estimated petrol used here is 8.3 litres for 100km and comes from the Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP). These figures are almost always lower than real-world petrol use.

So, a lot of energy is burnt to move petrol cars, but most of it is wasted.

"They are not efficient, about 70 to 80 per cent of the energy is wasted in heat. So you only use 20 to 30 per cent of the energy into fuels for actually driving around," Professor Smit said.

What's more, Australians typically drive heavier cars than other countries, especially in Europe. Heavier cars require more fuel to move them, resulting in higher emissions.

This all means that petrol cars start producing significantly more emissions during their use, leaving electric cars in the dust.

Let's look at a different view of our two cars as we drive them for 15 years or 189,000km. Petrol cars are displayed in the blue line, and electric cars in red .

Electric cars are powered by electricity (obviously!) but how that electricity is created makes a huge difference to the overall emissions profile of EVs.

You can see emissions for the petrol car   rise while the electric car's life-cycle emissions curve is flattening. That's because the composition of our electricity grid is rapidly changing and more renewables are coming online.

To account for that, this modelling from the EV Council uses the scenario mapped out by the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) which predicts the rate of new renewables coming into the grid and fossil fuel plants being decommissioned. That is, by 2030, the same electric car will be producing lower emissions because it will be charged with more renewable power.

So this is for Australia as a whole, but where you live can also have a big impact on how much cleaner an EV is.

Some Australian states already have mostly renewable energy powering their grids, while others still have lots of fossil fuels.

A car that's charged off a grid with lots of fossil fuels produces much higher emissions than a car charged somewhere with mostly renewable energy.

Let's look at our electric SUV in Western Australia, where in 2022 more than 83 per cent of electricity came from fossil fuels, mostly gas.

Now this is what our SUV's emissions look like in Tasmania (shown in the green line) , which powers almost its entire electricity network on hydro.

It's the same in South Australia, which has lots of wind and solar energy in the grid. You can see here that no matter where the EV is, it saves tonnes of emissions overall compared to a petrol SUV.

This highlights the huge opportunity to reduce transport emissions with electric cars.

The cleaner the grid, the cleaner the electric car.

What about cars charged on rooftop solar?

More than 3 million Australian homes have rooftop solar and, according to a 2021 survey, most EV owners plug into their own set-up.

A car that's charged with rooftop solar produces even lower emissions over its lifetime.

"When you use solar panels, they basically have very small-to-negligible emissions," Professor Smit noted.

Less than a tonne of carbon over all those kilometres!

Now, it's time to say goodbye to our cars and send them to the car afterlife …

Getting rid of our cars

According to Professor Smit, the greenhouse gas emissions from taking cars off the road are small compared to the overall driving life of a car.

What's more, most of the materials in a car can be recycled, so this offsets some of the emissions from the production of the car at the start of the cycle.

To complete our emission profile, let's add the emissions for the disposal of our cars.

There's a lot of potential for improvements here too.

It takes a lot of grunt to power a car, and when a battery can no longer do that and comes out of an electric car, it still holds a lot of value and charging potential.

It can be used as a backup household battery, for example. Some car companies like Tesla are already using old car batteries to power their factories.

It's estimated this second life for EV batteries could cut the carbon footprint of battery production by half.

At the finish line

Overall, every electric car will produce fewer emissions than its petrol equivalent, no matter where they are charged.

Even with an electricity grid that still uses some fossil fuels, electric cars have much lower overall carbon emissions, and that will continue to drop as the electricity gets greener.

And remember, this example uses SUVs, so lighter electric cars like hatchbacks have even lower emissions.

Hang on, what about hybrids?

Put simply, hybrids are complicated.

Plug-in hybrids can be run off either petrol or from a battery that's plugged in and charged. Therefore, the life-cycle emissions from a plug-in hybrid depend on the region where it gets charged but also on how diligent the driver is with charging. Remember, it can also run on petrol.

The European Union's Environment Agency recently found that emissions from plug-in hybrids were 3.5 times higher than reported.

It concluded that hybrids "are charged and driven in electric mode much less than how they were expected to be used".

Where we get our figures from

These figures come from the Electric Vehicle Council, which based its life-cycle emissions calculator on modelling from the European organisation Transport & Environment .

We got Professor Smit to look over the EV Council's modelling and he said while it was generous to petrol cars, it provided a good way to compare life-cycle emissions.

The inputs for petrol use are based on the WLTP . As mentioned in the story, this is likely to underestimate real-world petrol usage.

The modelling uses data for a Nickel-Mangenese-Cobalt NMC li-ion battery produced in China, as that's the most common type of battery in the Australian EV market.

It calculates 105kg CO2/KWh  for the carbon produced from battery production .

This same study found that "producing batteries with photovoltaic electricity instead of Chinese coal-based electricity decreases climate impacts of battery production by 69 per cent". Considering this estimate would reduce the emissions calculation in the point we make about battery production.

For a medium electric SUV, the energy used is 17.3 KWh/100km and a battery size of 70.2 KWh average for cars available in that category.

The emissions factors for energy sources are based on data from the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change  here. 

To model the rate of renewables coming into the grid, the EV Council used the step-change scenario from the AEMO .

Statements about the composition of the electricity grids in different states come from 2022 numbers from the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water.

The estimate of recycling emissions comes from a study by Transport & Environment .
