Work out a weighted grade

Quizzes, homework, and finals rarely weigh the same. Combine them correctly, then ask what the remaining work needs.

The job

A syllabus says homework 40%, midterm 25%, final 35%. You have 84 on homework and 72 on the midterm — where do you stand, and what must the final be to reach 80?

Weight, not row count

Each row is score out of max times weight: 84/100×40 + 72/100×25 = 51.6 points of 65 used, a 79.4% average on the marked portion. The 35% still open decides the rest.

Enter a target and the tool reports the score the remaining weight needs. If the answer comes out over 100, the target is unreachable — adjust it, not the math.

Check the syllabus details

Dropped lowest quizzes, extra credit, and curved scales all change the real rule. The calculator handles plain weighted percentages; check the course policy for everything else.
