Understanding Semester Grade Calculator
What is Semester Grade?
Semester Grade is a weighted average of your grades from different terms (quarters and final exam) throughout the semester. Each term contributes a certain percentage to your final semester grade based on its weight.
How is Semester Grade Calculated?
Semester Grade = ((Q1 × W1) + (Q2 × W2) + (Final × W3)) / 100
Where Q1, Q2, and Final are the grades (in percentage) and W1, W2, and W3 are the weights. The sum of all weights (W1 + W2 + W3) must equal 100. The calculator will prevent you from entering weights that exceed 100 in total.
Understanding Weights
- Weight: The weight that each term contributes to your final semester grade
- Example: If 1st Quarter is worth 25, 2nd Quarter is worth 25, and Final Exam is worth 50, the weights should be 25, 25, and 50 respectively
- Total Weight: Must equal 100. The calculator will automatically prevent you from entering weights that would cause the total to exceed 100
Example Calculation
Example scenario:
- 1st Quarter: Grade = 85%, Weight = 25 → Contribution = (85 × 25) / 100 = 21.25%
- 2nd Quarter: Grade = 90%, Weight = 25 → Contribution = (90 × 25) / 100 = 22.50%
- Final Exam: Grade = 80%, Weight = 50 → Contribution = (80 × 50) / 100 = 40.00%
Semester Grade = ((85 × 25) + (90 × 25) + (80 × 50)) / 100
Semester Grade = (2125 + 2250 + 4000) / 100
Semester Grade = 8375 / 100 = 83.75%
