How to Use the What-If Grade
- Enter your current grade and its weight.
- Input the hypothetical score you might get on the next assignment.
- View your projected new course grade.
Mathematical Formula Behind What-If Grade
Combines current grade with hypothetical new score based on its proportional syllabus weight.
G_{\text{sim}} = \left( G_{\text{current}} \times (1 - W_{\text{new}}) \right) + (S_{\text{hyp}} \times W_{\text{new}})Step-by-Step Worked Example
Scenario: Current grade 84% (worth 70% so far). What if you score 95% on a project worth 30%?
(84 * 0.70) + (95 * 0.30) = 58.8 + 28.5 = 87.3%.
Outcome: Your grade improves from 84.0% to 87.3% (B to B+).
