When my lowest score in a category is going to be dropped, why do I have to say what my lowest score is? I've already provided all the scores in that category. Can't the calculator just take the MIN of those?

Roger: Good observation. I had originally planned to support the “lowest N grades are dropped” exception for multiple grade category schema, but currently that exception is only supported if you pick “Each X is worth an equal fraction of my X category”. In order to support other schema (like points or percentages), the calculator would need to know which individual grades to drop. If you think about it, dropping the lowest grades in a heterogeneous category could actually be suboptimal (if, for example, your lowest grades were worth relatively little). In it’s current state, it’s a bit awkward to route the data from a previous stage (what did you score on each assignment) to the later stage. I’ll get around to fixing it eventually, but it’s pretty low-priority at the moment since it’s just a UI annoyance and doesn’t actually affect the answer.

Replying to V.I. Linen Cloth - I feel you. I'm in AP Theory and it's my only failing grade. Also, I'm a music major! LOL

Good luck everyone! I hope you all do AMAZING on your finals and pass every class!

I am very depressed

I just like to golf

Also test are worth 64% of my grade and there are 9 tests in total

Roger: What’s your current test average? And what’s the remaining 36% of your grade made of?

Your all doomed suckers!

I got 55 in a test that is 100 points. My grade in the class is 96% how much will this test lower my grade.

Roger: It depends on how many points you have total.

sitrjckland is imy girlfirmdndd

Eggos

I have 52% the first semester overall (75% first quarter and 34% on the second quarter) and an 18% the 3rd quarter. What will I need to pass this class overall? Currently I have an 81.5% this quarter.

Roger: The average of 75% and 34% is 54.5%. Why is your first semester grade 52%? Is each quarter worth one fourth of your overall grade? And what’s the minimum overall grade required to pass your class?

yep in same boat as u! hate yr 8 grade algebra gonna faaiiilllll in my test at the end of the week!!!!!!

The weighting, or how much your final is worth, is dependent on the course and exam. You can find the weighting of the final exam on the syllabus/course outline. The number of marks your final is worth does not indicate anything. For example, an exam could be worth 60 marks and be worth 50% of your final grade would impact your final grade more than an exam out of 120 marks worth 30% of your grade.

If my final grade is worth 120 points how much would the percentage of the final be? If that makes sense

Roger: It depends on how many points you have total.

Music Theory... need an 87.89% to get the C I need to pass to the next level... the highest grade I've gotten on a test this semester is an 80%.... Aaaaaaaaagh.

Don't you love algebra 2 in 8th grade?

This helped me determined I need a 95 on my final for MacroEcon. Bro macroecon sucks

someone please kill me

Hey Roger,
I messaged you early April, but some things have changed. Okay so on my first exam I got a 57, on my second 69 and on my third 79. I have one more exam on Monday and then my final. Each exam and final is 12% and the remainder has to do with Lab which I'm doing pretty well in I should pass with a B. What grade must I get on my last exam and final in order to pass my course with a 75 or 85?

Roger: Er... last time you said that you scored a 66% on your second exam, not a 69%. Also, last time I assumed that your final was worth the remaining 52% of your grade, since you didn’t mention how much it was worth. The exact answer depends on what kind of B you get in your “Lab” section (which is worth 40% of your grade, right?). Try out the calculator mode labeled “I need something else”. It should be able to answer your question.

57 to 70 and my final is worth 25%! There's about 35-40 questions on the final

dont do nursing school just dont.

I only need a 22 on my math eoc to pass the class. This just saved me so much stress.

i need a 251 % to pass

Ok my grade is a c+ and my assignment i need to turn in is worth 60% of my grade if I don’t turn it in what will my grade go to I really need to know?

Roger: Er.. probably an F? Is your assignment worth 60% of your grade by itself? Or is it part of a category that’s altogether worth 60% of your grade?

How do y'all have a d in school. Just turn in your damn homework and study a bit smh.

hey Roger if my final grade is a 61.71, and I turn in three summative grades and got a 100 on all of them what will that bring my grade up to.

Roger: How much are those 3 summative grades worth?

Final should be battle royal, I would sit there n camp till everyone leaves

tinkerbell dies of boredom
LOL!!!

@ Amanda if you have a 94 and get a 0 on your final (that is 35% of your grade), your final grade will be ~61.1%

How do you find out you need to pass on final exam I have a 69 and I had a 65 I’m wondering what I need on final to pass it’s worth 50percent if my grade thanks

Roger: What’s the minimum overall grade required to pass?

I'm making a 94 in class. If I make a zero on my final and the final counts as 35% what will I make for final grade?

Roger: Your overall grade should drop to a 61.1%.

Im just here for the kids

Okay I am definitely not doing too hot in math, granted most of the class has either a D or lower. At this point I just want to pass to class, SO:
Current grade: 72%
Want at least either a 65 or a 70%
Quizzes are worth 16% of total grade and we have taken 5 so far, he drops the lowest two which is great because my two lowest were 0.5/10 and 3.5/10 (don’t ask)
My final is a category on its own and worth 20% off overall grade. What do I need to get on my final for those two overall scores?

Roger: The exact answer depends on what you scored on your other 3 quizzes. Try out the calculator mode labeled “I need something else”. It should be able to answer your question.

I need a 147,000,000,000,000,000,000% to pass. Darn!

what are all my students doing on here?? they should be studying for my 300 point final

Roger gives best news that no studying is required for any finals this semester to keep those highly prized A's. Bless you, Roger. I'm going to go take a well deserved nap.

Roger: Congrats!

I hate precalc

heyyy kidds

i got a 31.5/40 for my science test is that 64.29%?????

+ how old r u roger???

Roger: My computer says it’s 78.75%. I’m 23.

Dang, I was super stressed about my math final, but now I only have to get a 50.46% on it to pass the class. THANK YOU ROGER FOR DESTRESSING ME LOL

Roger: You’re welcome!

my final is worth 20%, but it has three parts divided into 10%, 5%, and 5%. i have a 93.23 in the class and i don't know how many points each part of the final is. can i find out what i need on each part to get a 90 overall?

Roger: There’s not just a single answer. You’ll need to average at least a 77.1% on the 3 parts in order to get a 90.0% overall. You could score higher on some parts of your final and lower on others, as long as their weighted average is at least 77.1%.

You will need to score at least 155.56% on your final to get a 70% overall. Maybe there’s extra credit?

..........................MAYBE THERE'S EXTRA F**KING CREDIT?!?!??!?!??!?!?!

"You need a 75.88 on your final to get a 90 overall". Haha that isn't happening for english honors where everything is subjective :/

So
I have three homework assignment to do. And each is worth 10% of my grade, so what do I need to score on each if I have a 69 in the class and want a 90.
Thank You

Roger: Do you have any assignments left other than your three homework assignments?

@Loulou: your final is worth 100 points (20% of your grade) current grade 77.2% so you need 141% on your final :(

I love 💖 reading in school.

Why is my APUSH final worth 30 percent of my grade Roger please explain!

Roger: Just enough to force you to study, but not enough to meaningfully raise your grade.

Lowkey thinking of writing "Mike WiLL Made-It" on my French final next week. Or should I be a little more culturally sensitive and write "Mike WiLL a-fait..."

My class goes by a point system. I have 324/500 for tests. 36/40 quizzes plus 26 extra credit points.
386/500 is my grade right now. my final is worth 100 points. how do I know what I need to get on it? Please help

Roger: Well, what grade do you want?

ok, so I have 3 exams all worth 22%, a presentation worth 10%, and a case review worth 24%. I've made a 75 and 68 on two of my exams, a 9.5 on the presentation and an 80 on the case review. my last exam is my final. I must be doing the math wrong because if i make a 70 on the last exam, my overall score for the course will be a 67%. How can I have an average score lower than anything that I've made so far in the class??

Roger: It sounds like you got a 9.5 out of 10 (e.g. 95%) on your presentation. Did you accidentally interpret that as a 9.5% instead? If you get a 70.0% on your last exam, your overall grade should be a 75.6%.
