FIGURE YOUR EXAM AVERAGE
Take the YEAR avg I just gave you , multiply by .8
Example 100X.8 = 80
Take grade you want for the year, subtract the number you just got from it
Example 95-80 = 15
Divide your answer by 20
Example 15/20 = Move decimal two to the right .Need 75 on Milestone
Take the grade I just gave you and multiply it times POINT EIGHT (.8) Decide the grade you want (Example, 90) 90 – (the .8 number) Take that answer and divide by 20 18/20 = what you need to get (you have to move decimal over 2 spaces
76 x .8 = 60.8 80 – 60.8 = 19.2/20 = 96 on milestone to get an 80 70-60.8 =9.2/20 need 46 to pass
