<p>My school does not calculate midyear grades, however, I will soon have quarter grades (1st and 2nd quarter) and midterm grades. How should I go about completing the midyear report with this info?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>what country are you from?</p>

<p>I would go with a 40/40/20 breakdown.</p>
<p>So the midyear grade would equal .4<em>Q1 + .4</em>Q2 + .2*Midterm</p>
<p>Midyear grades = midterm grades if it factors in Q1 and Q2 grades.</p>
<p>Hmm, my midterm grades are exams separate to Q1 and Q2. They count for 50% of the semester though. I’m just going to report my final semester average for each subject.</p>

I feel like making something up like that really doesn’t make a whole lot of sense…</p>

By midterms I mean exams we have to take for (most) classes at the end of the 2nd quarter that account for a little bit (~7%) of our final grades.</p>
<p>Would appreciate it if an alum/MITChris could weigh in.</p>
<p>final semester average for each subject</p>
<p>In our school, for the classes that have exams, the midterm and final count towards a “5th quarter” that weighs a total of 20%. Of that 20%, the final is worth 13.3%, and the midterm 6.7%.</p>
<p>So, I suppose I could do something like [.2(Quarter 1) + .2(Quarter 2) + .067(Midterm)]/(.2+.2+.067). Is this acceptable? Again, my school does not provide an official final semester average.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I did not “make up” this system. It’s used by several high schools I know of, including my own. I am not so insolent as to report fake midyear grades.</p>
<p>In fact, it would produce similar results to the formula you just suggested.</p>
<p>how much weight should we place on the mid term exams? At our school they do not average in until the final exam and then 20% so maybe 45% each quarter and 10% mid term exam?</p>
