Home / Compare / weighted grade vs Australian calculator
Decide whether the weighted‑grade percentage or the Australian grade classification will affect your academic outcome.
For weighted grade vs Australian grade, use the Weighted Grade Calculator when your goal is to calculate your overall course score based on weighted components such as assignments, exams, and coursework. Use the Australian Grade Calculator when you need to convert marks into an Australian grading outcome such as HD, D, C, or P. The weighted grade calculator is the better first choice when you need a precise percentage or score across components. The Australian grade calculator is the better fit when your decision depends on how that score translates into a formal grade band. Use both together by calculating your weighted score first, then converting that result into an Australian grade outcome.
Use the weighted grade calculator first if your inputs come from multiple weighted components and you need an exact percentage. Then use the Australian grade calculator to interpret that result within Australian grading bands and understand the outcome.

Use Australian Grade Calculator when the question is better expressed through its assumptions and policy context.
For high-stakes decisions, document the assumptions behind both outputs before choosing the result to rely on.
Output: Calculating weighted course score: Your weighted grade across assignments and exams is 82%.
Output: Converting percentage to Australian grade: A score of 82% converts to a Distinction (D).
Output: Near grade boundary decision: A score of 79% converts to Credit, while 80% converts to Distinction.
Output: Using both calculators together: A weighted score of 85% converts to a High Distinction (HD).
Output: Lower score outcome: A weighted score of 58% converts to a Pass (P).

Weighted grade calculates a percentage based on weighted components, while Australian grade converts that percentage into a classification such as HD, D, C, or P.
Use the Weighted Grade Calculator when you need to calculate your overall score across assignments, tests, and exams.
Use the Australian Grade Calculator when you need to convert a percentage into an Australian grade classification.
Use the weighted grade calculator first if you need a percentage. Use the Australian grade calculator first if you already have a score and need to interpret it.
Yes, calculate your weighted percentage first, then convert it into an Australian grade outcome.
Yes, Australian grading systems typically map percentage ranges to classifications like HD, D, C, and P.
Not directly. You must convert the percentage into a classification using the appropriate grading scale.
Small changes in percentage can shift your classification, so checking both tools helps confirm outcomes.
Not always. Weighted grade reflects calculated performance, while final grade may include institutional grading rules.
The weighted grade calculator is better for precision, while the Australian grade calculator is better for interpreting outcomes.
