What's the difference between category and assignment weights?
Category weights determine how much each category contributes to your final grade. Assignment weights determine the relative importance of assignments within a category.
When should I use auto-normalize?
Auto-normalize is helpful when you're still building your grade structure or when you want the calculator to automatically adjust for incomplete categories.
How do I handle extra credit assignments?
Add extra credit as a separate category with its own weight, or add it to an existing category with appropriate assignment weight adjustments.
What if my total weights don't equal 100%?
The calculator will show a warning. You can either manually adjust weights or use the "Normalize Weights" button to automatically balance them.
Can I calculate grades for multiple courses?
This calculator is designed for individual courses. For multiple course GPA calculations, use our GPA Calculator tools.
How accurate are the calculations?
The calculator uses standard weighted average formulas. Results are accurate for most grading systems, but always verify with your instructor's specific method.
