Cijfer Woordenlijst
- GPA (Grade Point Average)
- A numerical expression of a student's academic performance. In the US, it typically scales up to 4.0. It is a widely used metric for university admissions, job applications, and scholarships globally.
- Weighted Average
- An average where each data point is assigned a "weight". In grade calculation, the "credits" of each course serve as the weight. Courses with more credits have a greater impact on the final GPA.
- Grading Scale
- The system used to convert a test score (e.g., out of 100) into a grade (e.g., A, B, C or 4.0, 3.0, 2.0). These scales vary significantly by country and university. For example, Germany uses a scale where 1.0 is the highest mark.
- Credits / Credit Hours
- A value representing the required study time or importance of a course. A course that meets more frequently usually grants more credits. When calculating GPA, the grade point is multiplied by the credits, making it a crucial factor.
- Target Grade Calculation
- A reverse-calculation method used to find out what score you need on your remaining exams to achieve a desired final grade, based on your current grades and their weight in the syllabus.
Veelgestelde Vragen (FAQ)
- Q.Worden mijn ingevoerde cijfers naar een server gestuurd?
- Nee. Alle berekeningen worden volledig in de browser van je apparaat uitgevoerd. Er worden geen persoonlijke gegevens of cijfers naar externe servers verzonden of daar opgeslagen.
- Q.Wat is het verschil tussen 'Gewogen GPA' en 'Simpel Gemiddelde'?
- Een 'Simpel Gemiddelde' telt alle cijfers op en deelt deze door het aantal vakken. Een 'Gewogen GPA' vermenigvuldigt elk cijfer eerst met het aantal 'studiepunten' (credits).
- Q.Waarom zegt de Doelcijfer-modus 'Onmogelijk'?
- Op basis van je huidige cijfer en het gewicht daarvan is het wiskundig onmogelijk om je doelcijfer te halen, zelfs als je 100% scoort op je eindexamen.
- Q.Kan ik de cijferschaal (zoals A+, B-) aanpassen?
- Ja. Je kunt de 'Cijferschaal Instellingen' openen om de koppeling tussen letters en numerieke waarden precies aan te passen aan het systeem van jouw school.
- Q.Ondersteunt deze tool de Duitse schaal (1-6)?
- Ja. Selecteer de schaal 'Duitsland (1-6)'. Het Duitse onderwijssysteem, waarbij 1.0 het hoogste cijfer is, wordt volledig ondersteund.
- Q.Kan ik mijn resultaten opslaan?
- Om je privacy te beschermen, slaat deze tool geen gegevens op. Maak een screenshot als je je resultaten wilt bewaren.
