What the result means

The result separates raw grade from adjusted grade so you can see the exact penalty and recovery effect.

Raw grade = points earned ÷ total points × 100. Final grade = (points earned + extra credit − penalty points) ÷ total points × 100.

Penalty rules vary by teacher. Enter the penalty as a percent of total points for this version.

Example calculation

An 86/100 assignment with 10% late penalty and 4 extra points becomes 80%.

Tips for better results

  • Submit early when possible.
  • Use extra credit to recover penalty loss.
  • Compare adjusted score with passing line.
  • Check rubric categories before resubmission.

What assignment score do I need to pass?

Compare the adjusted assignment grade with your passing score or course cutoff.

Should I resubmit my assignment?
