When a course grade is made up of homework, quizzes, and exams each weighted differently, figuring out where you actually stand takes more than a simple average. Add each graded item with its score and weight, and get your real weighted grade instantly.

Verify your own calculation matches what an instructor's gradebook shows.
Frequently asked questions
Each item's percentage score (score ÷ max score) is multiplied by its weight, summed across all items, then divided by the total weight — so weights don't need to add up to exactly 100.
