How the Grade Simulator Calculates Grades

When you enter a grade for a progress period (for example, Q1 or Q2) and click Run Simulation, the simulator may also update semester (S1, S2) or full-year (FY) grades for that course. This is normal because semester and year grades are calculated from multiple components, like progress periods and exams.

• Grades update automatically: Any grade you enter recalculates semester, full-year, GPA, credits, and quality points in real time.
• Exams: You can enter grades for exams that havent been taken yet. Exams that are already posted or not part of the students current courses/terms are read-only.
• Multiple courses: If several courses share the same grading period and scheme, semester grades may update across all courses so you can see how GPA and credits are affected.
• No changes to official grades: All changes in the simulator are temporary. Official grades remain unchanged unless a teacher posts them.

Example:

Entering 80 for Q2 in TV PRODUCTION TECH 1 recalculates the S1 grade for that course. If the course uses a weighted scheme (Q1 + Q2 + S1 Exam), the S1 grade is updated even if Q1 or the exam grades are still empty. This lets you see the effect on GPA, credits, and quality points in real time.

GPAs, Class Rank, Credits, Quality Points, etc. will also be updated to reflect the simulated grades.

5. Continue to enter grades in any of the available fields and click Run Simulation again to update the calculations. Each time you run the simulation, averages, GPA, credits, and quality points are recalculated in real time based on the grades entered so far. All changes remain simulated only and do not affect posted grades.

6. When finished, to close the Grade Simulator, click Cancel or refresh the page.
