Looking for a gpa calculattion sofware.
I had this software two years ago and somehow it got deleted from my laptop.
It allowed me to put in different assignment, their weightage, grades and told me my current mark. It also forecasted the grades i.e. it would tell me how many marks i need in the final exam to score a 90 or whatever. I don't remember the name of the software but it was made by some student in states. I was wondering if someone can help me find that or if you guys use any software to calculate your gpa and course mark.

You can just use an excel spreadsheet.

In the first column, put your mark as a decimal (e.g. A2: 36/40 = 0.9)
Then in the second column, put the weight of that assignment (e.g. B2: 30%)
In a third column, take the first column x the second column (e.g. A2xB2)
At the end of all the assignments/tests, you can use the =SUM(C2:CX) where X = the last cell. That'll tell you how you're doing in the course so far and you can fiddle with the remaining tests and exam marks to see what you need to get a A (85/100) - just as an example.

Hopefully that helps a bit.

That's for Mac. I am looking for a software that's compatible with PC.

Maybe you should get a spellchecker first...C'mon, two typos in the title?

Use the time you use to estimate your mark on studying

As soon as I read the thread title I thought, you mean a calculator?
