Assignment Grade Impact Calculator
Model an upcoming assignment in either direction: enter an expected score to project the new accounted average, or set a target accounted grade to solve for the assignment score needed.
Distinguish the accounted average from the eventual course grade
Suppose the entered current average is 84% across 60% of the course weight already accounted for, and an upcoming assignment carries another 20%. Scoring 90% on that assignment gives (84 × 60 + 90 × 20) ÷ (60 + 20) = 85.5% across the accounted 80%. It is not necessarily the final course grade because the remaining 20% may not yet have been assessed.
Use the reverse mode to work out the assignment score required for a stated accounted target, but check reachability against the maximum permitted assignment score. If the gradebook includes missing work as zero or weights at the category level, the model inputs must reflect that policy before you interpret the result.

Formula
projected grade = (current × completed weight + assignment score × assignment weight) ÷ accounted weight; required assignment score solves the same equation backward
Example
An 84% current grade across 60% completed weight plus a 92% assignment worth 10% gives about 85.14% across the now-accounted 70%.

Questions
Can I calculate the score I need on an assignment?
Yes. Switch to Score needed, enter the target average you want across the newly accounted course weight, and Lynara solves the assignment equation backward.
Why do I enter completed course weight?
Your current grade describes work already represented in the gradebook. Completed weight tells the calculator how much influence that average has relative to the upcoming assignment.
Does this predict my final course grade?
No. It projects or targets the average across the weight accounted for after this assignment; future ungraded work is still unknown.
