Overall Grade Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the overall grade in a class.

G=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{N}\left(C_i \times W_i\right)}{\sum_{i=1}^{N} W_i}

Where G is the overall grade (typically expressed as a percent).
C_i are the individual grade results (e.g., percent scores).
W_i are the weights for each grade item (e.g., percent of the final grade).
N is the total number of graded items included.

Overall Grade Definition

An overall grade is the final grade for a course based on all of the grades and their weights.

Overall Grade Example

How to calculate an overall grade?

First, determine the individual grades.
Determine each individual grade percentage.
Next, determine the weights of those grades.
Determine how much each grade weights towards the total grade.
Finally, calculate the overall grade.
Calculate the overall grade using the equation above.

FAQ

What is an overall grade?

An overall grade is your actual final grade after taking into account the weighted percentages of each individual grade.

How can one grade affect the overall grade more than another?

The reason that some grades affect the overall grade more than others is that they have a higher weight. This weight means these grades count more toward the final grade.
