How Weighted Coursework Grades Work
When a module has multiple coursework components (e.g. essays, reports, presentations), each is typically assigned a percentage weighting that reflects its importance. Your overall coursework mark is the sum of each component's mark multiplied by its weight:
Overall = (Mark1 × Weight1) + (Mark2 × Weight2) + ...
For this formula to work correctly, the weights should add up to 100%. The calculator will warn you if they don't.
Example
| Component | Weight | Mark | Contribution |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essay | 30% | 65% | 19.5% |
| Report | 40% | 72% | 28.8% |
| Presentation | 30% | 58% | 17.4% |
| Total | 65.7% | ||
Frequently Asked Questions
What if my weights don't add up to 100%?
If your weights total more or less than 100%, the calculator will flag this. Weights should always sum to 100% for the result to be accurate. If you only have some marks back and want a partial calculation, the calculator will normalise the weights for you.
Can I use this for exam + coursework combined?
Yes. You can add your exam as another component. For example, if coursework is 40% and the exam is 60%, add them as two separate components. For a dedicated exam tool, try our Exam Weighting Calculator.
What if I don't have all my marks yet?
You can enter only the components you have marks for. The calculator will compute the weighted total based on the weights you've entered. Just note that the result will only represent the portion of coursework you've completed.
How do I find my component weightings?
Component weightings are listed in your module handbook, module guide, or on your university's virtual learning environment (VLE). They are usually set at the start of the academic year.
Does this work for percentage and letter grades?
This calculator uses percentage marks. If your marks are letter grades, convert them to percentages first (e.g. A = ~75%, B = ~65% at most UK universities). The exact conversion depends on your university's grade scale.
How does coursework relate to my degree classification?
Your coursework total feeds into your overall module mark (usually combined with an exam component). Module marks then contribute to your year average, which determines your degree classification.
