1. What is a Weighted Final Grade?

A weighted final grade calculates your overall score by giving different weights (importance) to different components of your grade. This is common in courses where exams, homework, and projects contribute differently to your final grade.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the weighted average formula:

\[ \text{Final Grade} = \frac{\sum (\text{Component Grade} \times \text{Component Weight})}{\sum \text{Component Weights}} \]

Where:

Component Grade — Your score in each component (percentage)
Component Weight — The weight of each component (percentage of total grade)

3. Importance of Weighted Grades

Details: Understanding weighted grades helps students prioritize their efforts. Components with higher weights have greater impact on the final grade.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter grades as percentages (0-100) and weights as percentages (0-100). At least two components are required. The sum of weights doesn't need to equal 100% - the calculator normalizes the weights.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What if my weights don't add up to 100%?
A: The calculator automatically normalizes the weights, so they don't need to add up to exactly 100%.

Q2: Can I add more than three components?
A: This calculator handles up to three components. For more components, you would need to add additional fields.

Q3: How are missing assignments handled?
A: Enter 0% for any missing assignments that contribute to the grade calculation.

Q4: What's the difference between weighted and unweighted grades?
A: Unweighted grades treat all components equally, while weighted grades give more importance to some components.

Q5: Can I use this for GPA calculation?
A: This calculates percentage grades. GPA uses a different scale (typically 0-4.0) and would require conversion.
