What percentage is my grade? 10 points!

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-05-06] [Hit: ]
60% of your grade is 64, and 15% of your grade is 67.That means 75% of your grade is somewhere between 64 and 67.Its alot closer to 64.So, lets just call it about 65.......
60% of my grade is scored at 64%
25% of my grade is scored at 96%
15% of my grade is scored at 67%

72.45% is what I came up with. I didn't round it in case your grading scale doesn't round. I believe that's a passing grade. (Barely, but hey, you did it!!!)

Here's a "back of the envelope" calculation:

60% of your grade is 64, and 15% of your grade is 67. That means 75% of your grade is somewhere between 64 and 67. It's alot closer to 64. So, let's just call it about 65.

Thus, 75% of your grade is 65, and 25% of your grade is 96. That means, in other words, that you got three grades of 65, and one grade of 96..if you count everything equally. Add them up, and you get 65*3 + 96 = 291. Divide by the 400 points possible, and you get about a 73%....300/400 is 75%, and you're just about 2 points under that.

I didn't do a precice calculation because teachers have the right to adjust and assign grades...particularly upwards if they see consistient improvement, or downwards if there are numerous "work-ethic" type problems (turning in homework late consistiently, disrupting class, etc.), or if there is a signficant decline in performance.

Or, of course, they can "curve" grades...teachers want tests that follow a "bell curve" and have a mean where they think the class mean should be. Sometimes, teachers will give a test that's harder/easier than they thought it would be. The average is either too high or too low. If everyone gets a 40%, that's an indication that either the teacher didn't teach, the test didn't test, or ALL the students didn't study. They might add in some points to bring the average up. Or, if it's just a small difference (ie the teacher was expecting an average of 80 and it turns out the average is 75), they may wait and see if a later test turns out to be "too easy" to balance it out.

72.45

All you do is multiply the percentage available by your grade, represented as a decimal.

e.g. 60% x .64

your grade is=.6*64+.25*96+.15*67=.............
