G = C1% * W + C2% * W + C3% * W… / N
- Where G is the overall grade (%)
- C1% etc, are the individual grades
- W are the weights of each grade
- N is the total number of grades

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.
