This calculator can be used to generate weighted grades for an undergraduate degree consisting of weighting based years.
Note: Universities have differing classification and rounding policies, including:
While these calculators cannot handle those specific scenarios, they will give you a good idea of your current grades, and help you to set targets.
Your university will have more details about the specific criteria. These are usually available online.
First, it multiplies the grade by its weighting to generate a weighted grade for that year.
The weighted grades are then summed to generate an overall weighted grade for the degree.
We have two years for a degree:
| Name | Grade | Weighting |
|---|---|---|
| Year 2 | 66% | 40% |
| Year 3 | 75% | 60% |
To complete this, we would do:
(66 * 40) / 100 = 26.40% year 2
(75 * 60) / 100 = 45.00% year 3
The weighted grades are then summed to create the overall result for the degree:
26.40 + 45.00 = 71.40% weighted grade
For incomplete years, input the grades you've achieved so far, and it will calculate the average based on this, ignoring the incomplete portion.
We have three years for a degree:
| Name | Grade | Weighting |
|---|---|---|
| Year 2 | 75% | 25% |
| Year 3 | 63% | 25% |
| Year 4 | --- | 50% |
To complete this, we would do:
(75 * 25) / 100 = 37.50% year 2
(63 * 25) / 100 = 15.75% year 3
The weighted grades are then summed to create the overall result:
37.50 + 15.75 = 53.25% weighted grade
By doing this, you can also play around with predictions for the unachieved grade and see what grade you might end up with.
This also allows you to create a target for the unachieved grade - this can be completed by adding the credits with a zero grade, and increasing it until you reach the grade you want.
