Question

What is my grade if I have an 86 then get an A on my test?

Community Answer

It depends on what the test category is worth in your class. Usually it is a high percentage, so you probably passed the class with an A.

Question

I have a score of 73 percent in the class and made a 69 on the last exam. What is my grade now?

Community Answer

It depends on how many other assignments/exams you had and how many points they were all worth. See the instructions in the article. It would probably be somewhere between 70 and 72 percent.

Question

How do I average my grades?

Community Answer

First, you add up all of your percentages or number grades. After that you just divide that by the number of grades.

Question

If there are 35 questions, how much will be subtracted for each question?

Community Answer

You can easily calculate this using percents. 100 / 35 = 2.86. About 2.86% will be taken off for each missed question. To calculate another number, just divide 100 by the number of questions. If you want to know how many problems you need to get correct to pass, divide that percentage by the percentage taken off. Then subtract that new number from the number of questions.

Question

If my average was 82 and I got an 80 on a test, what will my average be now?

Community Answer

If you calculate it by mean, it would be 80 + 82 = 162, 162 divided by 2 = 81. Your new average = 81%.

Question

I don't know how many points are possible on each assignment, how do I calculate weighted grades if I know I have a 73.8% on tests and a 100% on homework. Tests are worth 60% of my grade and homework is worth 40%. Is it possible to determine my total grade percentage with only this information?

Community Answer

You'd pass the class with an 84.4% overall, average. 73.8%, round to 74% 100% is 100% Take 74% and make it 0.74 x 60% = 44.4% Take 100% and make it 1.00 x 40% = 40.0% 44.4% + 40.0% = 84.4% Which is your overall grade average.

Question

If I get an 84, will I get an A?

Community Answer

If it's 84 out of 100, no. An 84 is a B. You need to get 90 or above for an A.

Question

My math teacher grades tests, projects, and quizzes as 80% of my grade, how do I calculate that if I have 5 tests, projects, and quizzes?

Community Answer

Just do 80 divided by 5 and you will come up with each test, quiz and project being about %16 of your total grade. That is if you are saying that you only have 5 tests, projects and quizzes total.

Question

How do I persuade my teacher to increase my mark?

Community Answer

No decent teacher is going to change a student's grade because of any type of persuasion. You could, however, ask your teacher for some extra credit assignments to earn some additional credit.

Question

If I have a 93 in a class and I get a 0 on a assignment what will my grade be?

You would get a 46.5% as your average grade. First, add the class score. 93+0=93. Next, divide the result by 2. 93/2=46.5. 46.5% will be your grade.

Question

How do I find my final grade if I know only 2 grades?

Community Answer

You have to ask your teacher and she will give you all the grades you got because she has them recorded somewhere. She will most likely give you all of the grades and then, add all of them, and finally, just divide by the number of grades. That will be your final grade.
