Hi, If you check the category score in the grade book and it's lower the score on the exam it will boost your grade, but if the exam score is lower then it will drop your grade. The amount that your grade will drop or go up will depend on the weight of the exam and the difference in scores between the category and test.
Example:
Exams: 20% Weight
(10% weight) Test 1: 75/100
(10% weight) Test 1: 65/100
Category Score: 70
This score assumes the exams are equally weighted, and uses the formula for weighted average to find out what the score will be.

Hope this helps :)
