1. How does the Grade Calculator work?
The Grade Calculator multiplies the percentage you scored on each assignment or exam by its weight. It then sums the weighted scores and calculates your final grade based on the total weight of your assignments or exams.
2. What happens if my assignment weights don’t add up to 100%?
The calculator adjusts the final grade proportionally if the total weight is less than 100%. If your total weight exceeds 100%, the calculator will provide an error message asking you to correct the weights.
3. How are letter grades assigned?
The letter grade is assigned based on the final percentage calculated. Here’s the complete grade mapping table:
| Percentage | Letter Grade |
|---|
| 90% and above | A |
| 85% - 89% | A- |
| 80% - 84% | B+ |
| 75% - 79% | B |
| 70% - 74% | B- |
| 65% - 69% | C+ |
| 60% - 64% | C |
| 50% - 59% | D |
| Below 50% | F |
4. Can I add pass/fail or extra credit assignments?
Currently, the calculator only supports percentage-based assignments. You can calculate the final grade for extra credit assignments separately and add them to your total grade manually.
5. Can I delete assignments or exams?
Yes, you can delete any row by clicking the red X icon in the ‘Action’ column.
6. What happens if I make a mistake while entering data?
You can edit any field directly in the table or delete a row entirely if needed. Simply click into the field to change the value or use the delete button to remove the row.
7. What if I want to recalculate my grades after entering wrong data?
You can simply edit the existing rows or delete them if needed. After correcting the data, the calculator will automatically update your final grade.
8. How can I calculate grades if my assignments have different weights?
You can enter different weights for each assignment or exam. The calculator will adjust the final grade based on the assigned weights and percentages.
