If I have an A+ in p.e. and there is a project that is 30% of my grade. what is the highest grade I can get?

Answer 1

Well, if you do the project, the highest grade you can get is an A+.
If you don't do the project the highest grade you can receive depends on the % of your A+. Just subtract 30 from whatever your % is and that will be your grade. If your A+ is a 100% and you don't do the project at all, your grade would be a 70%


I just read ender's response, and anyone who has read that response is now dumber. He said the project was worth 30% of his grade... not 30% of the points possible prior to the grading of the assignment.
Since ender seems so insistent on using points, I'll put it in terms even he can understand. Let's assume that there are 1000 points total through the whole grading period. If the project is 30%, that means 300 points (of the 1000) are from the project.
Let's assume the project is the last grade, so there have been 700 pts possible, and you have all 700 for a 100% (A+).

ender said you have 100 out of 100 so far and then the project came and was worth 30 pts. 30/100 = 30%. But what he forgot is that now there are 130pts, and 30/130 = 23%
So in ender's grading system, the project that is worth 30% of your grade is now worth 23%.

ender, I like the name, ender's game is one of my favorite books of all time, but please support a name like that with some intelligent responses

Answer 2

If you get an A+ in your project, you can still get an A+ in P.E. If you get an F on your project, i.e., zero, then the highest you could get is a C+, if your school uses the usual grading system.

Answer 3

If you complete the project and do reasonably well, you should still do well overall. However, if you don't complete the project and turn it in, you could fall to a 70, which would be a borderline D or C, or even a borderline F or D, depending on your school's grading system. When I was in high school, our school's system called that grade a low D. Anything below 70 was considered failing.

Answer 4

That's not a very clear question, but if you don't do the project and you currently have 100%, it will drop you to a 70%. You need at least a 66% on the project to maintain a 90% in the class... not sure if any of that is what you were asking.

Answer 5

Assuming you have a 100% in P.E., the max you could get is 100% if you achieve a perfect score on the project. However, if you don't do the project at all, the lowest you could in the class is 76.923077%. That is assuming that all the work you have done in that class so far has added up to 100 points and that the project is an additional 30 points and therefore you'd have 100 out of 130 points. It doesn't matter how much points he gave out if you've gotten all of them and the prject is still worth 30%. The amount of points could be any number. For example, if he gave out a total of 250 points possible before the project and you achieved all 250, then the lowest score you could achieve is 250/325. 30% of 250 is 75 points, therefore the new total of points possible is 250+75=325. If you don't do the project, you'd have 250 points out of 325 points possible. This would mean you could get no less than 76.9%. However, this is only if you have completed every single assignment and gotten 100% on those assignments prior to the project.
Going back to the 250 points example, let's assume you earned 232 points out of the 250 points possible prior to the project. The project is worth an additional 75 points. Therefore, the new amount of points possible after calculating the project in is 325. If you didn't do the project at all, you'd have 232 points out of 325 points. Which would result in a 71.38%.
To calculate your grade yourself, here's what you do:
1) Find out the total number of points possible prior to the project.
2) Find out how much the project is worth.
3) find out how many points you actually earned prior to the project.
4) add the total number of points possible to the amount of points the project is worth to find out the new total points possible.
5) assume you don't do the project at all.
6) divide your amount of points earned prior to the project by the new total of points possible. This will give you your lowest grade.


If you want to see what is the max grade you can get, do this:
1) Find out the total number of points possible prior to the project
2) find out the value of the project.
3) find out how many points you actually earned prior to project.
4) assume you get 100% (all the points) on the project.
5) Add your points earned prior to project with the value of the project.
6) Divide the answer from step 5 by the total number of points possible after project (which is the combination of steps 1 and 2). This will give you your max grade.
