Anyone know how to do this, I can't seem to get it too work.
I have like test are worth 70% and homework is worth whatever.
Yeah I suck at math. I do know what I got on stuff just need to put it together. I am probably going to feel dumb when I see how to do it too.

Thanks :thumbup

Here is what I used to do:

EX:

Test are worth 70%
HW are worth 20%
Labs worth 10%

I would take all my grades and add them up like so.

85(.70)+95(.70)+60(.70)+87(.20)+99(.20)+67(.10)+86 (.10)

Where the .70 = 70%, the .20 = 20% etc etc etc.

Get it?

Since I was real anal my last few years of college, I would make up a spreadsheet to fill in my grades as I got them. We usually knew how many tests, HW assignments, etc we would have so I just carried around a pre-canned excel spreadsheet. That way I knew how hard I had to study on test etc to get the grade I wanted.
