* School's online portal: Most schools use a learning management system (LMS) like Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, or a similar platform. Log in to your student account and navigate to the grades section. Your GPA (Grade Point Average) or overall average will usually be displayed directly.
* School transcript: Your official transcript, which is a record of all your courses and grades, will show your GPA. You may need to request a copy from your school's registrar's office.
* Spreadsheet or grade book: If you're tracking your grades yourself, you'll need to calculate your average manually. This involves:
1. Determining grade weights: Some assignments (e.g., exams) may be worth more than others (e.g., homework). Make sure to account for this weighting.
2. Multiplying each grade by its weight: For example, if a test is worth 40% and you scored 85%, the weighted score is 85 * 0.40 = 34.
3. Summing the weighted scores: Add up all the weighted scores for each assignment.
4. Dividing by the total weight: The total weight should equal 100% (or 1). This gives you your weighted average.
* Teacher/Professor: You can always ask your teacher or professor for your current grade in their class.
In short, the easiest way is usually through your school's online portal. If that's not available, a manual calculation or contacting your instructor/school is necessary.
