How Midterm Exam Scores Impact Your Final Grade
In high school and college courses, midterms often carry 20% to 30% of your total class grade. To determine how much an exam score contributes to your overall standing:
Points Contributed (%) = (Exam Score % ÷ 100) × Syllabus Exam Weight %
Example: 88% on a 25% Midterm → 0.88 × 25 = 22.0% towards your final grade.
How Professors Curve Exam Scores
When an exam is unusually difficult, instructors often apply one of three curve formulas:
Adds an equal number of bonus points (e.g. +5 pts) to every student's score.
Sets the highest student score (e.g. 94%) as the new 100% denominator.
Calculates New Score = √(Raw Score) × 10 (e.g., 64% becomes 80%).
