In some schools, primarily public high schools, weighted-grade systems give students a numerical advantage for grades earned in higher-level courses or more challenging learning experiences, such as honors courses, Advanced Placement courses, or International Baccalaureate courses.
An example would be (2+3+4+5+6) / 5 which gives an unweighted average of 4. In Excel, such calculations are easily carried out using the AVERAGE function. A weighted average, on the other hand, considers one or more numbers in the range to be worth more, or have a greater weight than the other numbers. For example, certain marks in school, such as midterm and final exams, are usually worth more than regular tests or assignments.
