How we calculate your grades

GradeGuide uses weighted averages to calculate grades at all levels (module, year, and degree), matching how most UK universities calculate grades. Please note that your university may use a different approach, so these calculations should only be used as a guide.

  • Degree

    Your overall degree grade is calculated by taking the weighted average of all year grades based on their percentage worth.

  • Years

    Your year grades are calculated by taking the weighted average of all module grades based on their credit values.

  • Modules

    Your module grades are calculated by taking the weighted average of all completed assessments based on their percentage worth.

  • Assessments

    Each assessment has your achieved grade and a percentage worth. Assessments without a grade are not included in the calculation.

Setting and achieving your targets

GradeGuide helps you set and achieve targets for your degree, years, and modules. We show you exactly what you need to average in your remaining assessments to reach your target grade.

Global targets

Targets shown across your degree, year, and modules. Most people set these as their university's grade thresholds, e.g. 70% (1st), 60% (2:1), 50% (2:2), 40% (3rd) but you can set these to anything you want.

Specific targets

Targets shown for only your degree, a specific year, or a specific module. If you've set your sights on a grade more specific than your university's grade thresholds, you can set these targets to what you want to achieve and aim for that.
