The first and second marking period cumulative in the third marking period, but by how much? Also, does the first marking period affect the second? Thanks in advance!

MP1 = MP1
MP2 = (MP1 + MP2) / 2
MP3 = (MP1 + MP2 + MP3) / 3

I was hoping that MP1 and MP2 counted slightly less than MP3. Oh well, thanks a lot :D

Answered like a true Tech kid... I was planning on giving a written paragraph-long response until I realized how tedious it would be. xD

Not accurate at all in terms of the definition of cumulative. The answer is that the report card grade issued counts everything from the first day of the term until the end of the current MP. The average formula provided above only works if the number of tests, quizzes, homework, etc are uniformly distributed. Report card grades count everything and should be considered the grade in the class if the course ended that day.

MP1 = Sept - Mid Oct
MP 2 = Sept - End Nov
MP 3 = Sept - End Jan
