My History class for high school has a midterm and a final. they average together for 20% or 10% each. My overall is 84.22% and i got a 70% on midterm. What do i need on the final to keep a B which is 83.50

Roger: Has the midterm been included in that 84.22%?

Hello
So if I have an 81% in math, and the final is worth 15%, but I already took part 1 of the final (25% of final grade i think) and got a 52%[i know I know] IF i just get a 52% on the rest of the final, do I get to keep my grade?
Thanks!

Roger: Your grade would drop to a 76.65%. You need a 96.66% on the 2nd part of the Final if you want to keep your 80% overall.

I have a 93.64 in Spanish 2 right now, and have a 3 part final (each part with equal weights) worth 25% of my grade. I already received a 91 on one part of it (1/3 basically). What do I need to get on the other two parts? Thanks in advance.

Roger: What is your target grade?

Hi I have an 81.0% in Spanish and I need to how much I need to get in order to keep a C, so a 69.5%. I took the oral part and got an 86% and now need to take the multiple choice. The whole final is worth 20%. So what will I need to get a 69.5% or Higher

Roger: You need a -39% to keep a C (69.5%).

Hey Roger, I really need your help!

As of right now i have a 66.54% in my class, and i have one last test that isn't going under a "final" category. It's just going in as another test. Tests are worth 75% in the class, and this test im about to take is the 7th test of the semester.

This upcoming test is 100 points. What percent do I need to get on the test to raise my grade to a 69% overall??
Thanks So Much!

Roger: Hi Alex. I need to know your current test average.

Hey Roger ur program is so helpful....now I can aim for a certain percentage before going into a final w/out any surprises.
What was ur GPA man?

Roger: In high school? I had like 4 B’s or something. Don’t remember exactly.

Hey Roger!

I have a 85.98 in lit and my final is worth 10% of my grade. I just scored a 38/40 (96%) on my final today and I want to know what my grade will be with the final included. Currently in terms of points I have 335/386.

Roger: Hi there. 335/386 is not 85.98%. Is your grade broken up into categories that each have a different weight?

Mon, 03 Jun 2013 23:50:17 GMT

hey roger so i have a had a 96%. the part one of the final (the total final is worth 15%) i got a 52%. that brought down my grade to a 90%, because it was counted as the whole 15%. what do i need to get on part two of the final to get a 90% overall? i dont need to get a 90 because the part two is added into part one as the total category. part two is 100 points part one is 48 points
-thank you soooo much!

Roger: You’re correct. Your grade is artificially low because the 52% counts as the whole category. To figure out what you need on the 2nd part, you just use the calculator twice. First, you put in [96, 90, 15] to find out what you need in the whole finals category (the answer is 56%). Then you see that your 2nd part is worth 100 / (100 + 48) = 67.57% of that category. So, you put in [52, 56, 67.57] and see that you need a 57.92% on the 2nd part of the Final to keep your 90%. (The reason that this result is not 52% is that your numbers are too imprecise. A 96.00% and a 52.00% would actually put you at a .96*.85 + .52*.15 = 89.4%. However, the result is so low that this imprecision is irrelevant.) Enjoy your week!

Melinda,
Not everyone that is smart has bad people skills. There are lots of people that are smart and be outgoing. I feel like the stereotype that all people who get straight A's just spend their whole day studying and doing homework is wrong, they still have time with friends and such. While I feel like the person who you were referring to was a little inconsiderate when he said that everyone on here has bad grades, he may be a good, outgoing person in general.

Mon, 03 Jun 2013 23:34:35 GMT

I have a 100, 99, 93 and a 93 i want to get straight A's and an A starts at a 92.5

The final account for 10% of my grade

I don't know if it makes a difference or not but we move by marking periods. There are two marking periods in one semester.

Here are both Marking Period grades

Class 1- 100 and a 94
Class 2- 94 and 93
Class 3- 99 and 98
Class 4- 96 and 93

Roger: 10%, 34%, 88%, 88%

I think there was some error technologically, but my comment which was posted maybe 3 hours ago isn't there anymore. I'm not sure if it got deleted or what. Could someone let me know what may have happened. The comment that I was replying to isn't there either so I don't know.

Roger: The comment you were responding to was inappropriate, so I removed it. Your comment didn’t have any context anymore, so I removed it as well.

I love the people like "Genius" who come on here to brag about their grades instead of actually use what this website is made for. Way to go, Genius, you've got a 98% in math, but I'm sure you have no people skills.

I have a 78.5% and I got a 90% on the first half of my final. My whole final is worth 10% of my grade. What do I need to get on the other half to get at 79.5%? And 80%?

Roger: To get a 79.5%, you need 87% on the 2nd half. To get a 80%, you need a 97% on the 2nd half.

Is it just me or do most people posting on this website have extremely poor grades and ask question the you can get the response to by placing three sets of numbers into three different boxes. How much work could that possibly take. Anyway to my question for you. I have a 97% in semester 1 of AP Bio and a 96% in semester 2 my final is 20 percent of both semesters.
A 98% in math semester 1 and 98% semester 2 again 20% of both semesters.
How could I calculate that.
And thank you greatly for all the work that you have placed into making this website 1st on a Google search. Which is hands down ridiculous:)

Roger: Heh, you’re welcome. So, you already have 2 pieces of information that you need—your target grade and how much the Final is worth. To find out your current grade, you just take the average of your two semester grades by adding them up and dividing their sum by 2.

If my grades are
Term 1=-82.67 (counts as 40 percent)
Term 2-77.89(counts as 40 percent
midterm- 70.00 (counts as 20 percent)
Term 3-77.06( counts as 40 percent)
Term 4-76.84(counts as 40 percent)
final exam-? (counts as 20 percent)
what do i need to get on my final exam to get a 60 for the year?

Roger: You need a -98.92% (that’s negative) to get a 60, a 1.08% to get a 70, and a 101.08% to get a 80.

I have a 73.8 in my math class and i have a two part final. My extended response which is worth 1/3 of my final and multiple choice which is worth 2/3 of my final. The whole final is worth 20% of my grade. If i got a 50% on the extended response what do i need to get on my multiple choice to keep a 70% overall in the class.

Roger: 57.2%

Try:

100

Roger: And you get -Infinity% right? That’s a reasonable response.

This is what up.

Stop being such fucking asshole. The world has too many ignorant shits like who are naturally intelligent yet have a shit personality and contribute nothing to society.

Roger: Who/What are you talking about?

If you make your final exam 100% of the final grade, it prints out that i dont have to study?
Try using a switch statement to calculate the response...
For examole:
switch(percentage/10) //make percentage an int so that it truncates the input
{
case 1: alert(you dont have to study);
...
case 9: alert(study your ass off!);
}

Roger: It already does this, though the cutoffs I used may not be appropriate for the grading in every course.

The code has a DIVIDE_BY_ZERO exception. I'd suggest that you try debugging it.

Roger: JavaScript actually handles division by zero with the built-ins, INFINITY and -INFINITY, as well as regular, old NaN’s for other things. Standards-adhering implementations should never throw anything because of a division. Thanks for the tip though.

Hi! I have a question, I'm taking my Algebra II final this week, and after using the calculator I'm still somewhat confused as to what I should get on the final. My grade for the third quarter was at about 40% (as you can see I didn't do that well) and this quarter I improved and ended up with a 79%. The final is worth 20% of my grade, so I'd like to know what is the lowest grade I can get on my final in order to pass, as I will be a senior next year and definitely would not like to take this class again next year! :/ my math teacher says that he will probably curve our grades if it's necessary, but I still would like to know what grade I need to pass to end the semester with at least a D.

Roger: Given that the two quarters are weighted equally (this may actually not be the case), you would need a 62% on the final to get a 60% overall.

I NEED HELP! !!!!

Hello, I really really really need help!!
I have a low D in my biology class . Around 64% . My final is worth 20% of my grade. I need at least a D which is a 60% to pass my class. What is the lowest I can get on the exam but still pass? PLEASE HELP!!!!

Roger: You can get a 44% on the final.

I have an Anatomy & Physiology final exam coming up REALLY soon and I want to try and get at least an 85 overall average. My exam is 20% of my final grade, and my grades for each quarter were 88, 89, 88, and 89.

Thanks in advance!

Roger: You need a 71% on the final.

eddie
Mon, 03 Jun 2013 03:18:42 GMT

I'm getting a 77% in math and my final is in two parts.... the first I got a 71% on... what do I need to get on my second part to either keep my C or raise it to a B?

Roger: How much is your final worth? If your grade isn’t determined with weighted categories, how many points do you have total, and how many points are each of the parts of the final worth?
