QUICK ANSWER
Weighted grade formula: Sum each (score ÷ max × weight), then divide by total weight. An 85% on a 30-weight assignment + 90% on a 70-weight exam = 88.5% overall. Weights don't need to add to 100 — the calculator normalises automatically.

Key Grading Scale Facts
- US (A–F): The most widely recognised internationally. An A is 90%+, but individual professors may use a curve. GPA of 3.5+ (A–) is typically required for honour rolls.
- UK (Honours): A 2:1 (60%+) is the standard threshold for postgraduate study and most professional jobs. 70%+ for a First is notably harder to achieve than a US "A" because UK marking culture is stricter.
- Germany (1–6): Note the inversion — 1 is the best. International students often confuse this. A German "2" is equivalent to an A– in the US, not a B.
- France (20-point): Getting 18–20/20 is exceptionally rare. The system is intentionally demanding. 10/20 is the pass mark. A 14/20 is considered excellent.
- Netherlands (1–10): 6 is the pass mark. Marks of 9–10 are very rare; 8 is considered excellent. Dutch universities use half-points (e.g. 7.5).
- Australia (HD–F): Australian markers are known to be generous at the Pass level but strict at HD. A raw percentage of 75% in Australia may represent harder work than 90% in the US system.
