Roger: Your percentages don’t add up. 70% + 30% + 10% is 110%.

I got the following marks so far, and i'm wondering what I need on the final to get a 51%

Midterm worth 35% = 26.6% (my mark)

Weekly assignments worth 20% = 75% (my mark)

Final exam is worth 45%

using your calculator, it told me I need a 60% on the final to get that 51% overall.

is this correct?

Roger: Yep, that’s correct.

GPA wise is there a difference between an A- and an A for highschool

Roger: It depends on your high school. (Assuming United States here.) Some schools do not distinguish between A and A- grades, while others do.

I take an online course but the teacher was not specific in how much my final is worth. In the grade book it is worth 182 points but my teacher said overall it is 4-5 points of my grade I'm guessing that is my percentage. I currently have a 94.89 in the class. What would I need to score to get a 90.00 in the class?

Roger: Let’s assume that the final is 5 points of your grade. You would need a -0.15% on the final, which is -0.26/182 points. Yes, that’s a negative number with a leading ‘0’. No typo.

I have a 92.5 in my class.
And I want to keep that way, but I feel like I failed my "test".
It was worth 30% of my grade and it was like 15-20 questions. Each awnser was worth 1 point. What would the percentage be in my class if I got a B on my test.

Roger: I’ll assume that there are no undetermined categories in your grade (like a Final category). Let’s say you got an 83% on the test. Your grade would be a 89.65%, which should get you an A-.

Hi there,
I have two more exams to take in math, and we have a total of 4, they are each worth 25% for a total of 100. I've taken the first two and my current grade is 47% overall. I'd like at least a 60%, so what do I need on my last two exams?

Roger: You need a 73% on the last two exams.

Thanks a lot for replying! It's very helpful to know how well I need to do next quarter!

Roger: You’re welcome!

Tests are counted as double. For example, if you got a hundred on a quiz, but a 90 on a test, your average would be 100 + 90 + 90 divided by three.

Thanks again.

Roger: Your grade will drop from a 97% to a 90.1%.

Hello!

I currently have a 97% in a class, where tests and quizzes count for 90% of your grade and homework counts for 10% so essentially your entire grade is tests and quizzes.

My grades so far have been
92% on a quiz
100% on a quiz
100% on a test
96% on a quiz
99% on a quiz
94% on a quiz

However, I just got a 65% on a test. How will this affect my average?
Thank you so much!

Roger: How much is each test worth in comparison to a quiz?

Deborah
Sat, 02 Nov 2013 15:30:50 GMT

Tests: 60% each
Homework: 10%
Final Exam: 25%
Attendance: 5%

I had two tests and scored a 63% and 68%. I scored a 100% on my homework. I scored the 5% on attendance. And let's say I scored a 50% on the final. What will my final grade be??

Can you also let me know what my final grade will be if I score a 60% on the final?? Thanks a lot Roger!

Roger: If you score 50% on the final, your final grade will be 66.8%. If you score 60% on the final, your final grade will be 69.3%.

If an assignment is 40 points and I have 10 other assignments in my class and have a 74% in the class, what will my grade be if I got a zero on it?

Roger: It depends on how much the 10 other assignments are worth. If they are worth 40 points each, then your grade will be a 67.3% after you get a zero on your assignment.

Thanks roger!

So I ended up with needing a 78 on the remaining two tests is that correct? I have taken two tests already and I put in an 85 for my final grade. I would like to actually get a b+.
Thanks Kelly

Roger: How did you get 78% as the result? Did you specify “1” for the field labeled “The final is worth _ tests”? Putting in [77.58, 80, 60, 2, 66, 2] should tell you that you need 74.07% on the remaning two tests.

Greg
Thu, 31 Oct 2013 00:47:13 GMT

Sorry, I forgot to add that each quarter is worth 40%

Roger: Gotcha.

Hi Roger,

Can you please help me calculate what my midterm grade is this far?
test 60%-66
Quiz 20%-89.91
Homework 15%-100
Homework note book 5%-100

I have two more test before the semester is over. Lets say I keep a good average with quiz, hw, and notebook what grade is needed on my two tests to pass the class with a b?

thank you

Roger: Your current grade is 77.58%. Use the option that says “My final counts as a test”. Put in 77.58% as your current grade, 80% as your target grade, 60% as the weight of your test category, and the appropriate numbers for the rest of the fields. You will also need to know how many tests you’ve taken so far, which you didn’t specify. For “The final is worth _ tests”, put in 2. The result will be the average score you need to get on the remaining two tests. Otherwise, I can help you out if you tell me how many tests you’ve taken so far.

If I have an 89% for first quarter, and I assume I will get at least an 80% on the first semester final (which is worth 20%), then what do I need to get for the second quarter in order to get an 89.5% for the semester?

Roger: Let’s see. If you get an 80% on the final, you’ll need a 94.75% on the second quarter to get a 89.5% overall. If you get an 85% on the final, you’ll need a 92.25% on the second quarter. If you get a 90% on the final, you’ll need a 89.75% in the second quarter. Does that give you an idea of where you stand?

Amber
Wed, 30 Oct 2013 19:50:03 GMT

And i have an 89.2 % in the class.

Roger: Gotcha. You will need a 105.07% on the test to get a 91.5% overall.

Amber
Wed, 30 Oct 2013 19:44:47 GMT

We have taken 3 tests and my test average is 86 2/3. Tests are weighted 5, quizzes 4, and homework 1. The test is the final grade for the quarter. What percentage do i need to get to get the final grade as 91.5%? The test is tomorrow and your help is appreciated!

Roger: Use the option that says “My final counts as a test”. You will need to know your overall grade as well, which you did not specify. For example, if your overall grade were 90.5%, you would need a 94.67% on the test to get a 91.5% overall.

My General bio class is 75% based off of four tests but the lowest gets dropped so it's basically three tests and 25% based off of a lab. I got a 58% on test 1 and 49 on test 1 (dropped grade) what would I need in lab and the last two tests to get an 80% for the class? I currently have an 86% in lab.

Roger: Let’s say that you manage to keep your 86% lab average. You would need to average an 88% on the next two tests to get a 80% overall.

My two test grades are 54 and 52, each are worth 25%. My final is worth 40% and it replaces the lowest test grade. What would I need to make to end with a D (60) or C (70)

Roger: There’s not enough information to solve the problem. What are your other category grades and weights?

I'm new to this. But now I see all of the questions I posted. I'm so sorry. Thank you so very much for your explanation.

Sorry, I'll try this again. That didn't come out right once I submitted.

Trying to figure out what the total weighted grade should be when there is a % breakdown. Here is an example:

Homework/Quizzes are worth 25% . My score is 83%

Classwork is Worth 25%. My score is 85%

Tests/Projects are worth 50%. My score is 49%

Please explain what my overall weighted grade should be and how it was determined. Thank you.

Roger: I understood what you meant. No worries.

Trying to figure out what the total weighted grade should be when there is a % breakdown. Here is an example:

Homework/Quizzes Classwork. Tests/Projects Weighted Grade
Percent of Grade 25%. 25% 50%

My Score 83% B 85% B 49% F

Please explain what my weighted grade should be and how it was determined. Thank you

Roger: Your weighted grade is 25% × 83% + 25% × 85% + 50% × 49% = 66.50%. Remember that when you multiply percentages, you convert them to decimals like 25% -> 0.25 first.

ok, I don't know what this is, but I have a 55, and I just made one homework grade of 100, and one quiz grade of 100. I don't know how much of my grade they are worth. make a calculator that can tell me?

Roger: There’s not enough information to get an answer. You’ll need to provide a more detailed breakdown of your homework and quiz categories and assignment scores/weights.

I have a 69.91% in AP Chem.

Tests are worth 80% of my grade.

My test average is 63.04%.

What do I have to get on my next test to raise my grade to a C or a B?

Roger: Use the option that is labeled “My final counts as a test.” By the way, you will also need to know 1) how many tests you’ve taken already, and 2) what percentage you need to get a B (80%?) or a C (70%?).

I have an 72% in Apush and i want a 80 at least by the end of the semester we have about 4 or 5 grades left before the semester ends what do i need to get on those 4 or 5 tests to get an 80 in the class and i want about 60-70 percent on the fianl and the final is wroth is 10%

Roger: You will need around 90-100% on the remaining 4 or 5 tests, depending on 1) your test average, 2) how many tests you’ve taken, 3) how much your test percentage is worth.

hey my class has a system where
knowleg - 21%
app-21%
com-14%
thinking-14%
exam= 30%
i currently have a 52 ,

with 65 perfect in thinking
55 in app
60 in com
and 0 in thinking

how much do i need to get in each area to get an averae of 70

Roger: You need to be more specific about your question. You could, for example, get 70% in each category and get a 70% overall. There are an infinite number of solutions (4-dimensional space of solutions, actually) to your question.

Thanks so much!

Roger: You will need to average an 84% on the second midterm and the final exam.

I have a 90 in quiz category which is worth 35%. And i have a 100 in the homework category which is worth 5%. My final is worth 15% and the grades are weighted. What do i need to get on the final?

Kate
Wed, 23 Oct 2013 02:52:27 GMT

Oh, and can you please list some options of what scores I should earn on my next Test and on the Final Exam in order to pass this statistics class... at least with a 70??

This has been the hardest math class I've ever taken!

Thanks again!

Roger: To get a 70% overall, you could get 70% on your chapter test and a 60% on your final. You could also get a 50% on your chapter test and a 75% on your final.

Kate
Wed, 23 Oct 2013 02:42:29 GMT

My statistics class consists of 3 Chapter Tests - 60% each, 3 Homeworks - 10% each, 1 Final Exam - 25%, and Attendance - 5%.

1 out of the 3 Chapter Tests will be dropped (the lowest grade). I got a 63% and a 68% so far.
He counts all 3 Homeworks as one grade at the end. Let's say I received a 100%. Let's say I receive a 50% on the Final Exam. And I get the 5% for Attendance.

What will my final grade be???
Please and thank you!!!!

Roger: If you receive a 50% on the final exam, your final grade will be a 66.8%.

I am about to take my midterm. My unit tests are 50% of the overall grade, midterm 25% of overall, and final 25% of overall. If I have an 84 now what do I need to score now to maintain at least an 80?

Roger: I assume that you have not taken your final yet. You will need at least a 72% on the midterm to make a 80% overall.

Wed, 23 Oct 2013 00:35:55 GMT

if i have a 75% in overall grade and i get an F on my homework wich is worth 10% of my grade. what will be my overall grade be

Roger: Probably lower than 75%, depending on 1) how many homework assignments you’ve had, 2) your current homework average, 3) how much your homework is worth as part of your entire grade, and 4) if there are any undetermined categories in your grade (like a final), and how much they are worth.

Roger: 91.76% for an A. 75% for a B.

Roger: Are your free-writes and quizzes worth 10% per assignment? Or 10% for the entire category? Are quizzes and free writes considered one category? Are your exams worth 20% per exam, or 20% together?

Rob

I have 90 in math i want a 90 at the end of the semster what should my grade be bore i take the final that is worth 20% and the owest score is 50%

Roger: If you want to be able to get a 50% on your final, you need a 100% overall before your final.

Anon
Sat, 19 Oct 2013 03:02:23 GMT

Yes I have all the averages and scores. What is the next step?

Roger: Your final grade can be calculated as (a-b*d)+(b*e+c)*d/(e+1), where a is your current overall grade, b is your test average, c is your grade on the final test, d is the weight of your test category, and e is the number of tests you’ve taken excluding this final test (0 < a,b,c,d,e < 1).
