FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What if my LMS already shows a running grade?

Use it as a check, but recalculate with syllabus weights when categories are incomplete or the LMS mixes in the final exam early.

Can teachers use this workflow?

Yes—teachers and tutors can illustrate how final exam weight affects outcomes without collecting student data.

How do I know my grading scale?

Check your syllabus or LMS for letter-grade cutoffs. This workflow reports percentages; letter grades are estimates when shown.

What if I have extra credit?

Include extra credit in the category where your instructor applies it, or as its own weighted item if that matches the syllabus.

What if my category weights do not total 100%?

The weighted grade calculator scales weights proportionally. For the most accurate final-exam estimate, adjust weights so they total 100%.

Is the final exam already included in my current grade?

Only if you already entered a final score. For “what do I need,” keep the final out of Step 1–2 and enter its weight in Step 3.

Will my progress be saved?

Yes—on this device in your browser. Utilnivo does not upload your grades to the cloud for this workflow.

Can I edit an earlier step?

Yes. Editing Step 1 or 2 keeps later inputs and marks dependent results for review after recalculation.
