Example Data Table
| Assessment | Category | Earned | Possible | Weight % | Bonus | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Homework 1 | Homework | 18 | 20 | 10 | 0 | Completed |
| Quiz 1 | Quiz | 16 | 20 | 15 | 0 | Completed |
| Midterm | Exam | 78 | 100 | 25 | 0 | Completed |
| Project | Project | 42 | 50 | 20 | 3 | Completed |
| Final Exam | Exam | 0 | 100 | 30 | 0 | Pending |
Formula Used
Assessment Percentage = ((Earned Score + Bonus Points) ÷ Possible Score) × 100
Current Weighted Score = Σ(Assessment Percentage × Weight) ÷ Σ(Completed Weights)
Projected Score with Pending Items at Zero = Σ(Assessment Percentage × Weight) ÷ Σ(All Planned Weights)
Contribution Points = (Assessment Percentage × Weight) ÷ 100
Required Average on Remaining Weight = ((Target Grade × Total Planned Weight) − Σ(Assessment Percentage × Weight)) ÷ Remaining Weight

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is a weighted score?
A weighted score multiplies each assessment percentage by its assigned weight. Higher-weight items affect the result more strongly than lower-weight items. This helps reflect course importance more accurately.
2. What happens if my weights do not total 100%?
The calculator still works. It shows your current weighted score across completed weights and also reports the total planned weight so you can see whether your grading structure is complete.
3. Can I include bonus points or extra credit?
Yes. Add bonus points in the bonus field for any completed assessment. You can also cap results at 100% or allow scores above 100% by changing the cap setting.
4. What does pending status mean?
Pending assessments are planned but not yet graded. They do not affect the current weighted score, but they do affect the remaining weight and the required score needed to reach your target.
5. How does the drop lowest option work?
The calculator sorts completed assessments by percentage and removes the chosen number of lowest items from the current weighted score. This can model policies that drop poor scores.
6. Does this calculator show letter grades?
Yes. It uses customizable A, B, C, and D minimum thresholds. The letter grade shown is based on your current weighted score after any drop-lowest rule is applied.
7. Can I use this for semesters, modules, or training programs?
Yes. It works for classes, certification programs, module averages, and other weighted evaluation systems as long as each component has a measurable score and weight.
8. Why export to CSV or PDF?
CSV is useful for spreadsheets and recordkeeping. PDF is helpful for sharing, printing, or storing a fixed summary of the calculations, chart values, and assessment breakdown.
