Points-Based vs. Weighted Grading Systems
Many courses across middle schools, high schools, and universities use a Total Points System rather than percentage weighting:
Every point is equal. If a course has 500 total points available across 10 assignments, your grade is simply (Points Earned ÷ 500) × 100.
Categories have fixed percentage weights (e.g. Homework is 20%, Tests are 50%). Points within a category only affect that category's sub-average.
Worked Total Points Calculation Example
Suppose a student has the following completed coursework in a 400-point course:
- Essay 1: 47 / 50 points (94%)
- Midterm Exam: 85 / 100 points (85%)
- Lab Project: 95 / 100 points (95%)
- Weekly Quizzes (5 total): 45 / 50 points (90%)
