• Unlimited user defined subjects. For each subject you may specify the name, credit hours, catalog number and description, whether it is used in gpa calculations, the type of grading scheme used, whether it has a semester exam, and whether it is used for recording overall attendance or subjective grades. Custom fields may be added.
• Define your own grading schemes. A grading scheme may consist of 0 (no letter grades used) up to 25 letter grades, each of which may be up to 5 characters each (B+, Pass, etc.). Cutoffs for each letter grade may be specified. For each grading scheme, you may specify the gpa conversion factors. Different conversion factors may be used for honors type subjects. Gpa values may optionally be calculated from numeric averages instead of letter grades.
• Unlimited user defined task categories. Each class may use up to 25 different task categories such as quiz, test, homework, etc.
• Supports tracking attendance by class or by daily overall. Attendance may be recorded by code or by time. Unlimited user defined attendance category codes such as Absence Unexcused, Tardy, Snow Day, etc. A student's overall average may be automatically decreased due to excessive absences. For each attendance code, you may specify how many free absences are allowed and how much to deduct if the free amount is exceeded. When recording attendance by time, it is tracked to the nearest minute. Calculate the total minutes/hours present and absent.
• Attendance may be entered on a per class basis (teacher entry) or all classes at the same time (secretary entry).
• Classes can be automatically scheduled around user defined holidays. Rolling block schedules are supported. You may specify the number of days in the block, and whether to skip certain weekdays and holidays. Easily reschedule a class due to a snow day or other cancellation.
• User specified codes for not entered scores and not counted scores. The initial score for tasks may be specified. The default score may be specified if no score is entered.
• Scores may be entered and displayed as raw scores, percentage scores, letter grade scores or as text. Letter grade scores and raw scores may be entered simultaneously for the same task.
• Calculate the overall average by summing all the points or by using an exact or relative weight for each task category.
• Calculate task category averages by summing the points in a category or by averaging the percentage scores of tasks in a category.
• Discard the worst "n" scores per category.
• Base the weight of extra credit on the extra credit points or use a weighted extra credit category.
• Optionally use attendance scores when calculating the overall average.

• Individual tasks in a category may be weighted differently.
• Support for automatically recalculated custom tasks whose scores depend on other tasks. Custom task scores may be calculated from the sum, average, highest, lowest, difference, reverse, or the number not entered or not counted of other task scores. A custom task may also be used to increment, ratio, or curve an existing task to a desired mean. When curving task scores, the original score is retained.
• Class averages may be unrounded, rounded to the nearest tenth or rounded to the nearest whole number before a letter grade is assigned.
• Semester averages may be calculated by averaging the marking period averages and optional semester exam average. Semester averages may be unrounded, rounded to the nearest tenth or rounded to the nearest whole number. Semester grades can be assigned from the semester average or may be calculated using the letter grades from each marking period and optional semester exam. When using the marking period letter grades to calculate the semester letter grade, the gpa conversions for the subject are used.
