Let’s Explore Some Common Problem Areas

All students in my class have 4’s! Ignore the “Final Grade” column. It has no impact on the students’ grades

The grades don’t calculate correctly or I have decimals that show up! Make sure the possible points is set to 4 at ALL TIMES! (even if the max. score was a Level 3) Exception: Set as 3 points for Conduct & Work Habits

There are blanks in the final grades tab! Make sure the grades have been “recalculated using the standards score”.

I “recalculated” but I still have blanks! There is a problem calculating the mode. The teacher must enter the grade manually.
