In GradeQuick, we assigned a category but no default # of points; This is also possible with PowerSchool. maximum # of points you can attach to an assignment, or is there is it is in the thousands or beyond.

To weight: Click on GradeSetup Tab. Add categories. After you choose which categories you want to weight, you click in the weight column and create a weight. If you just choose one category, the weight will translate to 100 percent. If you choose 25 for weight for one category and 50 for another then the percentages will be 33 and 66 respectively. You don't change the percentage directly. You change your weighting which in turn reflects a corresponding percentage that will total to 100 percent. media type="custom" key="1896797"
