How it works
How to track a points-based class without distorting the average
Grade calculator
Enter scores the same way they appear in the gradebook
Use earned points and possible points for each assignment, quiz, test, lab, or project. This page is built for courses where the gradebook looks like a running scorebook.
Grade calculator
Let larger assignments matter more automatically
A 100-point test should affect the course more than a 10-point quiz. Adding raw points first avoids the mistake of treating every percentage as if it had the same weight.
Grade calculator
Preview the next assignment before it happens
Use the projection inputs to test a likely score before it is posted. That makes this page useful for planning, not just checking the grade after the fact.

Weekly assignments
Homework and quiz tracking
Homework 1: 18 / 20
Homework 2: 25 / 25
Quiz 1: 8 / 10
Quiz 2: 9 / 10
Current grade: 90.9%
This kind of class changes a little every week. A running points total is faster and more trustworthy than trying to recompute the course by hand after each update.
Mixed point values
A test should count more than a tiny quiz
Quiz 1: 9 / 10
Quiz 2: 8 / 10
Essay: 42 / 50
Midterm: 84 / 100
Current grade: 85.9%
This is where students often go wrong by averaging percentages. The point totals already contain the correct weighting, so the bigger assessments naturally carry more influence.

Lab 1: 19 / 20
Lab 2: 20 / 20
Project checkpoint: 12 / 20
Test: 43 / 50
Current grade: 82.7%
One disappointing score can feel bigger than it really is. Looking at the updated total helps you judge whether the class average actually moved a lot or only dipped slightly.
Choose the right tool
Choose this page when the course is one running pool of points
Use this page when every assignment has raw points
If your teacher records scores like 18 out of 20, 42 out of 50, or 84 out of 100, this tool is usually the right fit.
Switch tools when the syllabus uses category weights
If homework is 20%, quizzes are 15%, labs are 25%, and exams are 40%, use the weighted grade page instead. That setup should not be forced into a raw-points tracker.
Use the final exam tool when only one score is left
If you already know your current average and only want to know what you need on the final, the final exam page gives a clearer answer.
Before you trust the result
Common input mistakes that make a class average look wrong
Do not average assignment percentages unless they are truly equal
A quiz scored out of 10 and a test scored out of 100 should not count the same. If you average percentages directly, small tasks can distort the course average.
Include missing work the same way the gradebook does
If a missing assignment is currently a zero, enter it as zero. If it has not been counted yet, leave it out until the teacher includes it in the gradebook.
Keep extra credit separate unless it changes possible points
Some teachers add extra credit to earned points, while others treat it as its own adjustment. Match the grading policy instead of guessing.
FAQ
Common questions about points, weighting, and class averages
What does this page calculate?
It totals earned points and possible points across the assignments you enter, then shows the current class average for that scorebook.
Why not just average all my assignment percentages?
Because equal-looking percentages can come from assignments with very different sizes. Averaging 90% on a 10-point quiz with 84% on a 100-point test gives the quiz too much influence.
When should I use the weighted grade page instead?
Use the weighted version when your syllabus assigns percentages to categories like homework, labs, projects, and exams. Use this page when the gradebook behaves like one running pool of points.
Should I enter missing work as a zero?
Yes, if the teacher is already counting it as zero. If the assignment has not been included in the official grade yet, leave it out for now so the result stays aligned with the real gradebook.
What is the projection row useful for?
It helps you test the likely impact of the next assignment before you actually receive the score. That is useful when you are deciding how much one upcoming test or project can change the class average.
Can this page handle extra credit?
Usually yes, but only if you enter it the same way your class counts it. If extra credit adds earned points without adding possible points, reflect that exactly instead of estimating.
