This method saves keystrokes and time
by using the semi-permanent weight
table. You can use this table to assign
weight values for up to ten (10) grades.
Once this table is set up, each grade
e n t e red is automatically weighted with
the corresponding weight value. It is
important to remember that while aver-
aging a student’s grades, you must
always enter the grades in the same
order the weight values were assigned.
For example, if the first grade on the
table re p resents homework scores and
accounts for 20% of the overall grade,
while entering the student’s grades, you
will always enter the homework score
first so that it is weighted corre c t l y .
Otherwise the grade will not re c e i v e
the correct weight factor.

culator off by pressing the [ O ff ] k e y.
