I wish I could answer this question. The issue is, it depends on the number of grades you have and how your teacher "weighs" or scores each grade. Different grades carry different weights and can affect your score in the class differently. For example, a D on a homework assignment or exit ticket might not affect your score as much as a D on a test. Usually, the more assignments you have in a specific category, or type of grade, the less the score will affect your overall grade. Tests usually weigh more because you don't take as many. Homeworks usually weigh less because you do lots of homework!
If you are concerned about your grade, I would suggest talking to your teacher. They will be able to help you figure out your grade in the class and what you can do to improve and prepare in the future.
