1. What is the College Grade Calculator?

The College Grade Calculator computes your final course grade based on your midterm, final exam, and assignment scores. It provides a quick way to estimate your overall performance in a course where these components are equally weighted.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple average formula:

Where:

• Midterm — Your midterm exam score (percentage)
• Final — Your final exam score (percentage)
• Assignments — Your average assignment score (percentage)

Explanation: The calculator takes the average of your three main course components to determine your final grade.

3. Importance of Grade Calculation

Details: Knowing your current standing in a course helps you understand what scores you need on remaining assignments/exams to achieve your desired final grade.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your current or expected scores for each component as percentages (0-100). The calculator will compute your overall course grade.
