# Final mark calculation

Refer to the assessment methodology in your study guide to get the percentages to set up the Final mark. For this example, we will assume that the semester mark counts 50% and the exam mark also counts 50% toward the final mark.

Then follow these steps in the Gradebook:

1. Go to the Gradable Items view.
2. Hover your mouse over the line next to the semester mark to display a +.
3. Click on the + to display the menu.
4. Choose Add Total Calculation.
5. Name the calculation Final Mark.

Hide the Final Mark

This item MUST ALWAYS be Hidden from students.

1. Select Weighted.
2. On the right-hand side of the page, untick "When ticked [X], if a student has completed one ........."
3. Change the grade schema to percentage.
4. Go to the Exam category.  Set it to 50%, and lock the box.

Check the category

Ensure that only your Exam gradable item is in that Exam category.

1. Scroll down to the bottom, and under the calculations category, unlink the semester mark calculation.
2. Set the semester mark calculation to 50% and lock the box.
3. Scroll down and click on save.
