Introduction: Balancing major and minor grades is a common challenge for students. Our online calculator simplifies this process, allowing you to input your major and minor grades along with their respective weights to calculate your overall grade.
Formula: The overall grade is calculated by multiplying each grade by its respective weight, summing these values, and dividing by the total weight.
How to Use:
- Enter your major grade in the “Enter Major Grade” field.
- Enter the weight of the major grade in the “Enter Major Weight (%)” field.
- Enter your minor grade in the “Enter Minor Grade” field.
- Enter the weight of the minor grade in the “Enter Minor Weight (%)” field.
- Click the “Calculate” button to get your calculated overall grade.
Example: Suppose you scored 85 in your major assignment, and it carries a weight of 70%. You also scored 90 in a minor assignment, which carries a weight of 30%. Enter 85 in the “Enter Major Grade” field, 70 in the “Enter Major Weight (%)” field, 90 in the “Enter Minor Grade” field, and 30 in the “Enter Minor Weight (%)” field. Click “Calculate,” and the result will display your calculated overall grade.
