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.
For example if you got 85% on a test worth 20% of your final grade and 70% on an assignment worth 25% the sum would be (85 x 0.2) + (70 x 0.25) = 34.5% out of a possible 45%. To work out your weighted average so far you simply divide 34.5 by 45 and multiply by 100 = 76.67%.f you get 40% your final grade would be 70.1%. You can work out any permutation for this using the weighted grade calculator above (the top one). Just put 83 as your first mark and 70 as the % of final grade. On the second mark row put 30 in the % of final grade box.
