Introduction: The Weighted Exam Calculator computes a student’s overall exam score based on individual exam scores and their corresponding weights.
Formula: The calculator determines the weighted exam score using the formula:
Weighted Exam Score = (Score 1 * Weight 1) + (Score 2 * Weight 2)
How to Use:
- Enter the score of the first exam into “Exam 1 Score.”
- Input the weight of the first exam into “Exam 1 Weight.”
- Provide the score of the second exam into “Exam 2 Score.”
- Enter the weight of the second exam into “Exam 2 Weight.”
- Click “Calculate” to determine the weighted exam score.
Example: For instance, if Exam 1’s score and weight are 80 and 0.3, and Exam 2’s score and weight are 90 and 0.4, the calculator will display the weighted exam score.
