About Weighted Test Score Calculator

The final score is the weight-weighted average of the two components, normalised by the total weight so it stays correct even if the weights do not add to 100. Seeing each component's point contribution shows immediately where the marks actually come from, which is what tells you whether coursework can still rescue a grade.

Formulas

Weighted average

final = (score1 x weight1 + score2 x weight2) / (weight1 + weight2)

Contribution

contribution of a component = score x weight / total weight

Assumptions and limits

The result is derived only from the 4 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax, fees or charges or compounding frequency into account.
Figures are rounded for display to 2 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.

How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the Weighted Test Score figure worked out?

final = (score1 x weight1 + score2 x weight2) / (weight1 + weight2). The final score is the weight-weighted average of the two components, normalised by the total weight so it stays correct even if the weights do not add to 100.

Why does this matter?

Seeing each component's point contribution shows immediately where the marks actually come from, which is what tells you whether coursework can still rescue a grade.

What do I need to enter?

Enter coursework score, coursework weight, exam score, exam weight. The defaults shown are a realistic worked example — swap in your own figures to get a result you can use.
