Final exams are worth 20% of my grade

Question

So I have 3 Exam s I have to take and there 20% of my grade and I have all high A’s in those classes what if I made a 60 on the exams what would my grade be?

Answer 1

To calculate your final grade after taking the exams, we can use the weighted average formula. Since the exams are worth 20% of your grade each, and you have three exams, the exams combined contribute 60% (3 exams * 20% each) to your final grade. Your previous grades make up the remaining 40% of your grade.

Given that you have all high A's in those classes (assuming an A is typically a score of 90 or above), I'll assume your current average is 95 for calculation purposes. However, if your high A's are actually above 95, you can adjust accordingly.

Here's the calculation:

Previous average grade: 95 (weighted by 40%)

Exam average grade: 60 (weighted by 60%)

Final grade = (Previous average grade * 0.40) + (Exam average grade * 0.60)

Final grade = (95 * 0.40) + (60 * 0.60)

Final grade = 38 + 36

Final grade = 74

If you scored 60 on all three exams and had all high A's before the exams, your final grade would be approximately 74. This is assuming your A's were in the range of 90-95 and your exams were scored at 60. If your high A's were higher than 95, your final grade would likely be higher as well.
