If that 60 is just one normal assignment/test being averaged in with your other scores, it will bring your 94 down a bit, but you’ll probably still be in the A range; the exact drop depends on how many total grades you have and how things are weighted.

1. Quick way to estimate

Think of it like this: your new average is just the average of all scores:

New average = (sum of all old scores + 60) ÷ (number of scores + 1)

A simple example:

  • Suppose your 94 is the average of 4 previous grades.
  • Total points so far ≈ 94 × 4 = 376.
  • Add the 60: 376 + 60 = 436.
  • Now divide by 5 grades: 436 ÷ 5 = 87.2.

So in that example, your grade would drop from 94 to about 87.

2. How to plug in your own situation

  1. Count how many grades are currently making up that 94 (quizzes, tests, etc.).
  2. Multiply 94 by that number.
  3. Add 60.
  4. Divide by the new total number of grades (old number + 1).

If:

  • You only had a few grades so far, the drop will be bigger.
  • You already have lots of grades, the 60 won’t hurt as much.
  • If this 60 is in a small-weight category (like one homework in a 10% homework category), its impact is much smaller than a big exam.
