How to Average Grades

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): To average grades, add all your scores together and divide by the number of assignments if they count equally, or multiply each grade by its weight and divide by total weight if some count more. You can use the free calculator on this page to enter grades with optional weights and see your average, weighted average, lowest, and highest scores.

How do I average grades without weight?

Add all your grades together and divide by how many grades you have. In the calculator, simply leave the weight fields blank.

Can I use this to calculate my GPA?

Yes, if you enter your grade points (such as 4.0, 3.7, 3.0) as values and the course credit hours as weights, the weighted average gives your GPA.

What if I have one very low grade?

One very low grade will pull down your mean, but you can check the median in the results to see your middle grade without extreme scores skewing it.
