Calculating your Final Grade

If you are looking to calculate your final grade for the year, here is the formula:

1st Quarter Grade x .2125 = ____
2nd Quarter Grade x .2125 = ____
3rd Quarter Grade x .2125 = ____
4th Quarter Grade x .2125 = ____
Final Exam Grade x .15 = ____

Add all these numbers together, and if they total more than 69.5, you will pass for the year.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
For Example:
1st Quarter Grade 85 x .2125 = 18.063
2nd Quarter Grade 75 x .2125 = 15.938
3rd Quarter Grade 80 x .2125 = 17.000
4th Quarter Grade 70 x .2125 = 14.875
Final Exam Grade 80 x .15 = 12.000
Sum of all numbers = 77.87 <--- Congratulations, you pass.

BUT: 1st Quarter Grade 65 x .2225 = 13.813
2nd Quarter Grade 60 x .2125 = 12.75
3rd Quarter Grade 60 x .2125 = 12.75
4th Quarter Grade 70 x .2125 = 14.875
Final Exam Grade 95 x .15 = 14.25
Sum of all numbers = 68.438 <---- Sorry, you did not pass.
