How to Keep Track of Your Grades
Ever wonder if there is a way to know what your grades are before the report card comes home? Now you can.
[edit] Steps
- Get a binder.
- Put in folders or dividers for every subject.
- Fill each section with paper.
- On the first sheet of paper in each section, record for every project:
- The day you got it
- The day it is due
- What it is
- What type of project it is (home work, class work, project, test, or quiz)
- And what grade you got
- Now, take all of your grades and:
- Add them all
- Divide all of them by the number projects you have but don't count extra credit
- Now add on the extra credit points.
- (ex. Sally has two projects. She got a 100%, a 0, and 5 points of extra credit. She divided it by 2. Her grade is now 50%. When she adds on the extra credit she now has a 55%)
- You now have a rough idea of what your grade is.
[edit] Tips
- Test and quizzes are usually worth more than home work, so talk to your teacher for the ratio.
[edit] Warnings
- Keep all you grades in that binder and don't lose it (You can throw out the work when the quarter ends).
