The Semester Grade Calculator averages all your assignment scores across an entire semester to give you a single grade. It's a simple equal-weight average — each assignment counts equally. Enter your quiz scores, homework grades, test percentages, and the calculator shows your overall semester standing.
For courses where different assessments carry different weights (e.g., finals worth 40%), use the Weighted Grade Calculator instead.
Enter the percentage score for each assignment, quiz, test, or exam you have received during the semester. Click "Add Assignment" to include additional grades. The calculator treats every entry with equal weight by default, producing a simple average of all scores entered.
This works best when your professor does not assign different percentage weights to different grade categories. If your syllabus says "Homework 20%, Midterm 30%, Final 50%," use the Weighted Grade Calculator instead for accurate results.
Many courses, especially in high school, treat all assignments equally — a homework grade worth 10 points counts the same as a quiz worth 10 points because both represent 10 out of 10. In that case, a simple average is all you need.
At the college level, most professors assign different weights to different categories. A final exam might be worth 40% of your grade while weekly homework is worth only 15%. Using a simple average in that scenario would give you an inaccurate result. Always check your syllabus to know which calculation method applies to your course.
Your semester grade converts directly into a GPA grade point for each course. An 84.5% earns a B (3.0 GPA points). Multiplied by the number of credits the course carries, this becomes your grade points for that course, which factor into your cumulative GPA.
If you are close to a letter-grade boundary — for example, sitting at 89.4% when A− starts at 90% — even a small improvement on the final exam can make a meaningful GPA difference. Use the Final Grade Calculator to find out exactly what score you need on your last remaining assignment.
Start tracking your grades from the very first assignment. Students who monitor their running average throughout the semester consistently outperform those who check only at the end. Catching a bad week early gives you time to recover before it is too late.
When possible, prioritize assignments that carry more weight. Even in an equal-weight course, a test covering more material is more likely to reflect understanding than a short quiz. Putting extra study time into high-stakes assessments tends to produce better semester outcomes than distributing effort evenly.
