Calculating Weighted Grades

To figure out weighted grades, you multiply each grade by its weight and add them up. This method helps when some assignments or tests carry more importance than others. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Formula

The formula for computing a weighted grade is:
Weighted Grade = (Weight 1 × Grade 1) + (Weight 2 × Grade 2) + (Weight 3 × Grade 3) + …

Example in Percentages

Imagine these courses and their respective grades and weights:

  • Math: Grade is 80, weight is 30%.
  • Biology: Grade is 90, weight is 50%.
  • History: Grade is 72, weight is 20%.

The weighted grade calculation would be:
= (30% × 80) + (50% × 90) + (20% × 72)
= 24 + 45 + 14.4
= 83.4

Example with Points

Let’s consider weights in points instead of percentages:

  • Math: Grade is 80, weight is 3 points.
  • Biology: Grade is 90, weight is 5 points.
  • History: Grade is 72, weight is 2 points.

To calculate:
= (3 × 80) + (5 × 90) + (2 × 72)
= 240 + 450 + 144
= 834

Divide by the total points:
= 834 / (3 + 5 + 2)
= 83.4

Using weights like these gives a comprehensive view of your progress. Adjust the variables to see their impact on your final score.
