1. What is a Weighted Grade Calculator?

The Accurate College Grade Calculator computes your final grade based on weighted averages of different grading categories (like exams, homework, projects). It accounts for the different weights each category contributes to your final grade.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the weighted average formula:

Where:

• \( \text{Grade}_i \) — Your grade in each category (as percentage)
• \( \text{Weight}_i \) — The weight of each category (as percentage of total grade)

Explanation: Each grade is multiplied by its weight, then summed to get the final weighted grade.

3. Importance of Accurate Grade Calculation

Details: Knowing your current grade helps with academic planning, identifying areas needing improvement, and setting realistic goals for the remainder of the course.

4. Using the Calculator

Steps:

1. Enter the number of grading categories (e.g., exams, homework, projects)
2. For each category, provide: name, weight (%), and your current grade (%)
3. Click "Calculate" to see your weighted final grade
