I currently have a 58% in my class a presentation is worth 10% which I am not doing and the final is worth 30% how much do I need to score on the final to pass the class with an overall of 60%

Roger: I hope you are doing that presentation. Without it, you need a 84% to pass. On the other hand, if you do it and get a full score, you only need a 64.5%.

Hello! I wanted to know if in my not being able to turn in an essay worth 30% of my grade, will I still be able to pass if I do decent of my exams/homework?

Grading Scale:
Homework: Worth 25% (I'm confident I will get 100% in this category)
Exams: 3 exams Worth 45%
Final Exams: 1 worth 45%
Essay: 30% (Was not able to turn it in in time)

I've already taken the first 2 exams and got 74% and 65%

Please and Thank you!

Roger: How much do you need to pass? Let’s say you’re aiming for a 60%. You would then need a 35/45 = 77.78% Test/Final average to pass.

Hey Roger,

It's me again. We have 2 quizzes worth 10 points each and 3 labs worth around 20 points each. Will those make a difference?

Roger: No, not really. Sorry.

Hi Roger,

I have a 85.14% in a class, and need a 90% to raise it to an A.
The final is worth 20% of our overall grade, and the coursework is 80% of our grade.
The Coursework breakdown is as follows

Tests (worth 50%) 313/376 points- I have a 83.24% in that section
Quizzes (worth 15%) 105.5/125 points - I have a 84.4% in that section
Labs (Worth 25%) 132.5/148 points- I have a 89.53% in that section
Homework (Worth 10%) 139/164 points- I have a 84.76% in that section

Is there any hope for me? Our teacher doesn't give extra credit, but we have two big tests coming up (I'm guessing each one is worth around 60 points), and then the final.

Roger: So you have 2 tests left. Let’s say you get an 100% on both of them. That would bring your grade to ~87.2%, in which case you would need a 101.52% on the final. I don’t think so, I’m sorry.

I have an 88 percent in a class. We have two more test worth 40 points each. So far our total points are around 300. Can I pull my grade up to an A??

Roger: How confident are you about the next 2 tests? Your situation is equivalent to a ~21.05% final, so you would need a 97.5% average on the next 2 tests for a A (90%) or a 95.13% average for a curved A (89.5%).

This is an amazing site, I could have eventually figured out the calculation myself but now i can spend that time studying. Thank you Roger!!!!

Roger: You’re welcome.

hi roger, so in math i have 87.28. there are 2 more tests coming up that is worth 70% of my grade. i have 86.88 B+ for test grade(70% of my grade), quiz grade for 83.33 B(20% of the grade), and 97.95 A for homework(10% of my grade) If i get a 98% average for the 2 tests coming up and i have a final that is worth 15% of my grade, what grade should i get to have a 93% in the whole class. If i can't get a 93, what is the highest possible grade i can get? thanks

Roger says: It depends on how many tests you have already taken, but it looks like in your current situation, you have a relatively high test score already, so doing well on your next 2 tests will not help you much (doing poorly will hurt you though). It is impossible to make a 93% grade with a paltry 15% final.

Why is it that if I have like a 92% in a class its like impossible to raise it just one percent? I realized I am basically screwed. So thanks, Roger.

Roger: It’s just like if you have an 8% in a class, it’s hard to go any lower. Haha.

@Dick Still hard . WHY ARE YOU HATING ON ROGER?! First of all you have the most inappropriate name ever and second you can't even spell condescending and site correctly. Also if you would've studied harder during the school year then you wouldn't have the problem of being "screwed" on the final. And if you don't like this site, then why are you using it?

hey,
i have a 98% currently, and the yearly exam is worth forty percent of our final mark. there are 85 total questions, so how many do i need to get a 95% ?

-----
Roger says: 90.5% of 85 is 72.4 questions.

Hey,
I currently have a 85.66 in Math and need a 89.5 to get an A-. We have one more Test and the final is coming up. A test is 45% of our grade and I have a 84.9, Hw is 5% and I have a 88.8, Quizzes are 35% and I have a 86.1. The final is 15%. Is there anyway I can get an A-?

Thanks,
S

-----
Roger says: No, it isn’t possible. It depends on how many tests you’ve already had, but let’s say you’ve only had 3 tests. 100% on the test would put you at ~87.5%, so you would need a 100% on the final to get an A. If you’ve had more than 3 tests, it’s practically impossible.

I have a 73 in my math class. A B is a 75. Quizzes are worth 35% and I have an average of 87.37. Projects are worth 10% and I have an 80. Tests are worth 40% and I have a 59.09. What would I need on my next test to get a B in the class? Also, how did you calculate this?

Thanks!!

Hey Roger! :) I need a 89.50 in anatomy to get an A- . I currently have a 88.44 in the class and the category that's bringing my grade down is the test category. I have a 79.5 average in the test category and there is one more test left. I have gotten a 70, 85, 84, and a 86 on the first four tests. What will I need to get on my next test and what will I need to get on the final? The test category is 40 percent of my grade and the final exam is 15 percent of my grade. Thanks!

-----
Roger says: Let me put it this way. If you get a 90 on your last test, you will have a 89.14 in the class (then, you will need a 91.54% final to get an A). If you get a 95, you will have a 89.54 (and will need a 89.27% final to get an A). If you get a 85, you will have a 88.74 (and will need a 93.81% final to get an A). These numbers aren’t entirely accurate because it looks like your 4 previous tests aren’t equivalently weighted, but I hope this gives you an idea of where you need to be.

if you only finished 89% of the test and had an 83% of what you finished, what would your grade be on the test?(If the 89% were considered the completed test-100%)?

Roger says: That’s simply 89% * 83% = 73.87%.

So far I have an 85.9 over all score in math. I need atleast a 75% over all score to pass the class. If the final exam is a 50 question exam and is worth 30% of my grade, what will I need to get on it in order to pass the class?

I've had straight A's all my life, but I'm really struggling with my Pre-Calc Honors class. I have a 90.8% right now and to get an A- I need a 92.5% and our final is worth about 15% of our grade. My school district has kind of a weird grading scale. To get an A you need 93.5%, but to get an A- you need at least 92.5%. A B+ is 91.5% and a B is 85%. I really want an A- so I can maintain my 4.0... Are you sure I'll need at least a 102% on the final? Wish me good luck...

I am currently getting a 49% in the class and I need a 60% to pass the class
I have two more assignments worth 30% each to hand in and another worth 5%
Assuming I get the full 5% on the last assignment what percentage would I need on the two assignments worth 30% each to finish with at least a 60% in the class?

-----
Roger says: Why are you getting a 49% in the class? Anyway, use the calculator [55.38, ?, 60], and you see that you need a 63.08% average on the two to get a 60%.

Hello,

I have a 63.03% in my class right now and have a few more assignments thhat need to be graded. 2 Discussions that are worth 2% each, a lab worth 5% and a final paper worth 20%. If I get full credit on at least my 2 discussions and lab and ore than half on my final what do you think my final grade would be? Please help im stressing. Class ends tuesday and want to know if im going to need to get a extra assignment to make up some points. Thanks

-----
Roger says: You will have a 67.19% in the class after labs and discussion. Use the calculator, taking your final to be worth 20%.

I am currently getting a 52% in the class and I need a 60% to pass the class
I have two more assignments worth 30% each to hand in and another worth 5%
Assuming I get the full 5% on the last assignment what percentage would I need on the two assignments worth 30% each to finish with at least a 60% in the class?

-----
Roger says: Your 52% constitutes 35% of your class grade, and a full score on a 5% assignment will bring it to a 58%. Now, using the calculator [58%, 60%, (30+30 = 60)%], you can see that you need a 61.33333% average on the 2 30% assignments to make a 60% overall.

Hi I was wondering if u can help me I need to know what grades I need to make on my next to tests in order to get a b or higher average. My first three grades are 76 74 and sadly a 56 each test is worth 100 points and I only have two mor tests! I'm extremley worried! I have to pass this class if u could help me I would truly appreciate it.

Roger says: Hi Kris. You need to average a 72% on your next 2 tests to get a 70% in the class.

Normally, I'm a A/B student, and Biology is the first class I've ever really struggled with and it's freaking me out. I didn't go to high school, so I don't have a basic background in Chemistry and Biology like the teacher assumes everyone already has, and I have a lot more to learn than most of the other students.

I got a 58% on the first exam, and a 66% on the second one. That's with reading the chapters, never missing a lecture or a lab, taking and rereading my notes, studying, watching Khan Academy online videos, using memorization techniques from acting to memorize all the wrong facts. There are two exams left. What is the minimum I would need to get on each one to get a 'B'? Or a 'C'? I'm pretty sure there is no chance of an 'A'.

-----
Roger: Sorry to hear about your situation. To get a C (70%) you will to average a 78% on the 2 remaining tests, so a 75% and a 81% will get you there, for example. To get a B (80%) you will need to average a 98% on the 2 remaining tests. I wish you good luck.

Hello i have a 68% as my grade right now! and i only have 2 more grades left.....a lab and a test...both which are worth 60 % of my grade......what grades do i need to get a 78 % as my final grade? i could understand how to do it since my final you can say is 2 grades.

-----
Roger says: Well, you would need a 84.66667% average between the lab and the test.

question?
Wed, 24 Oct 2012 23:59:32 GMT

If i get a 60 on a grade and it counts as 80 percent of my grade what is my overall grade?

-----
Roger says: It depends on what the other 20% is. If it isn’t anything yet, your grade is probably 60%.
