Drop-Lowest, Retake & Replacement Grade Calculator

Compare retake policies at assessment level, optionally drop the lowest resulting percentages, and show which attempts and records determine the grade.

Assessment attempts

Use short non-identifying labels. Status, policy, and omit words must match the examples and calculator guidance. Rows remain in this browser tab.

Use non-identifying labels where records repeat and enter the policy, scale, score, or planning assumptions that actually apply. Missing, excused, pending, late, zero, and omitted values are different states. Nothing entered here is added to a URL, account, analytics event, or saved academic record.

Quick guide

How to use this calculator

  1. Choose the explicit policy, scale, scoring basis, or planning method before entering results.
  2. Use the labelled fields and add one structured row per course, attempt, component, criterion, learner record, unit, or workload batch that belongs in the scenario.
  3. Read component outputs before the overall summary: they expose denominators, active weights, exclusions, shortages, thresholds, provenance, and the record or stage driving the result.

Calculation method

Transparent education workflow

Each assessment result follows the selected attempt policy; the selected number of lowest assessment percentages is then removed before points are recombined.

The calculator preserves relevant distinctions and reports intermediate components rather than converting missing information into an assumed score, policy, equivalency, or approval.

Worked example

Worked example

Under highest-attempt policy, attempts of 60 and 80 retain 80; under average-attempt policy they produce 70.

Each assessment result follows the selected attempt policy; the selected number of lowest assessment percentages is then removed before points are recombined.

Supported inputs

Precision and limits

Visitor-entered rules and assumptions

No grading scale, attendance threshold, late-work rule, mastery definition, institutional conversion, admissions requirement, curriculum rule, or room-safety standard is supplied automatically.

Privacy by default

Use short non-identifying labels. Entered academic information and results stay in this browser tab and are not placed in URLs, analytics, storage, session replay, or a cloud record.

Support, not automated judgement

Results organize arithmetic evidence. They do not rank learners, diagnose learning, predict admission, determine placement, recommend discipline, certify safety, or replace professional and institutional judgement.

Calculator-specific boundary

Latest, highest, mean, full replacement, and capped-recovery policies have different consequences. This tool shows the entered model and never chooses a policy for the teacher.
