No need to manually calculate weighted averages. Just enter your grades and weights, and the calculator does the rest in seconds.
Accuracy
Weighted grades can get tricky, especially when different components (quizzes, homework, exams) all carry different percentages. But our calculator eliminates human error and ensures 100% accurate results.
User-Friendly and Free
Our semester grade calculator is free and easy to use. No complex formulas or spreadsheets needed, just enter your data and click “calculate.”
How to Calculate Semester Grade?
A semester grade can be calculated by using the weighted average method. Every assignment, test, quiz, project, and exam carries a certain percentage (weight) toward the final grade. Also, use the final grade calculator to know what grades you need for your final exams.
Know the Grade Components & Weights
Your professor or course syllabus usually gives you the breakdown. For example:
- Homework: 20%
- Quizzes: 15%
- Midterm Exam: 25%
- Final Exam: 30%
- Class Participation: 10%
Convert Percentages into Decimals
- 20% → 0.20
- 15% → 0.15
- 25% → 0.25
- 30% → 0.30
- 10% → 0.10
Multiply Each Grade by Its Weight
Suppose a student has the following grades:
- Homework = 85%
- Quizzes = 90%
- Midterm = 80%
- Final Exam = 70%
- Participation = 100%
Now multiply each by its weight:
- Homework: 85 × 0.20 = 17.0
- Quizzes: 90 × 0.15 = 13.5
- Midterm: 80 × 0.25 = 20.0
- Final Exam: 70 × 0.30 = 21.0
- Participation: 100 × 0.10 = 10.0
Add All Weighted Scores Together
17.0 + 13.5 + 20.0 + 21.0 + 10.0 = 81.5%
Convert to Letter Grade (Optional)
Many schools use a standard letter scale:
- A = 90–100%
- B = 80–89%
- C = 70–79%
- D = 60–69%
- F = Below 60%
So, 81.5% = B
Formula for Semester Grade
Final Semester Grade = (Grade 1 × Weight 1) + (Grade 2 × Weight 2) + …
These manual calculations can take up too much time; simply use our semester calculator to calculate the semester grade quickly.
What is a Semester Grade?
A semester grade is the final grade that a student earns at the end of a semester (half of an academic year, usually 15–18 weeks). It reflects a student’s performance across all coursework, including:
- Homework
- Quizzes
- Exams (midterm & final)
- Projects
- Class participation
- Attendance (sometimes)
Formula for Semester Grade (Weighted Average Formula)
Where weights are in decimal form (e.g., 20% = 0.20).
Example:
85 (0.20) + 90 (0.15) + 80 (0.25) + 70 (0.30) + 100 (0.10) = 81.5
Frequently Asked Questions
Who can benefit from a semester grade calculator?
Students – to track progress and set goals.
Teachers – to explain grade breakdowns to students.
Parents – to better understand their child’s performance.
Can this semester calculator be used for graduate or post-grad studies?
Yes. You can use this semester test calculator for any level, including graduate and post-graduate studies, as long as you enter the grades and their weights correctly.
Does a higher semester grade always mean a higher GPA?
Yes. Higher semester grades convert into higher grade points, which increases your semester GPA and ultimately your cumulative GPA. You can check your overall grade point average (GPA) with the help of a GPA calculator.
Is semester GPA different from cumulative GPA?
Semester GPA: Average for one semester.
Cumulative GPA: Average of all semester GPAs combined over your academic program.
