How to calculate
Combine two assessment components using their relative weights.
Weighted grade = (a*wa+b*wb)/(wa+wb)
Worked example
Assessment 1 grade (%): 80; Assessment 1 weight: 40; Assessment 2 grade (%): 90; Assessment 2 weight: 60.
Weighted grade: 86 %.
Assumptions and limits
No. Weights of 2 and 3 produce the same result as 40 and 60. At least one weight must be positive.
Results are rounded for display; calculations use unrounded values. Read our calculation methodology.
Understanding the result
Grades contribute in proportion to their weights. The two weights are normalized by their sum.
