1. What is the Final Grade Calculator (Point System)?

The Final Grade Calculator (Point System) computes your final grade percentage based on the points you've earned compared to the maximum possible points in a course or assignment.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

• Total Points Earned — Points you've accumulated
• Maximum Possible Points — Total points available in the course

Explanation: The formula calculates what percentage of the total possible points you've earned.

3. Importance of Final Grade Calculation

Details: Knowing your current grade percentage helps you understand your academic standing and what you need to achieve your target grade.
