The Exam Quiz Calculator estimates a combined assessment grade when quizzes and exams have separate weights. It shows the weighted contribution from each assessment type and normalizes the result across the entered weights.
Use it when a syllabus splits test-based grading between frequent quizzes and larger exams. The calculator helps reveal whether strong quiz performance offsets exam results, or how much the exam category dominates the combined assessment score.
1. Enter the quiz average
Use the average after applying any dropped-quiz or replacement rules in the syllabus.
2. Set quiz weight
Enter the share assigned to quizzes within the modeled assessment total.
3. Enter the exam average
Use the weighted average when individual exams do not count equally.
4. Set exam weight
Enter the corresponding exam share.
5. Review contributions
Compare quiz and exam points to see which category drives the combined result.
The result covers only quiz and exam categories. It is normalized if their entered weights do not total 100%.
The exam category has more influence because its weight is more than twice the quiz weight.
Results are planning estimates and should be checked against the grading or scheduling rules that apply to your course.
Given:
88% quiz average at 30% weight
74% exam average at 70% weight
Calculation:
Quiz contribution = 88 × 0.30 = 26.4
Exam contribution = 74 × 0.70 = 51.8
Combined grade = 26.4 + 51.8 = 78.2%
Result:
78.20% combined assessment grade
The exam category has more influence because its weight is more than twice the quiz weight.
Yes. The result is normalized across the entered categories. It will not include homework or other omitted components.
Calculate the quiz average after applying the official drop rule, then enter that adjusted average.
Apply the replacement policy before using this calculator. The tool does not automatically identify or replace individual scores.
A category with a small weight contributes fewer grade points, even when its score is high.
Not directly. Use an exam score estimator designed to solve for the missing score needed to reach a target grade.
