# Grades & Progress

> How to view your grades on Lena, understand how your course grade is calculated, and track your academic progress.

Lena automatically calculates your course grades based on your assignment and
quiz scores. Here's how to find and understand your grades.

<Note>
  **Before you begin:** You need to have submitted at least one assignment or
  quiz to see grades.
</Note>

## Viewing your grades

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open your course">
    Go to the **Courses** tab and tap the course. You'll land on the course home screen.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find your grades">
    Look for the **Grades** section within the course. This shows your overall performance. You'll see your assignment average, quiz average, and overall grade.

## Understanding your grade

Your course grade is made up of two components:

| Component              | What it measures                                                   |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Assignment average** | The average score across all your graded assignments in the course |
| **Quiz average**       | The average score across all your graded quizzes in the course     |
| **Overall grade**      | A weighted combination of your assignment and quiz averages        |

### How the overall grade is calculated

Your teacher sets the **grade weights** for each course. For example:

| Component   | Weight   | Your average | Contribution |
| ----------- | -------- | ------------ | ------------ |
| Assignments | 40%      | 85%          | 34.0         |
| Quizzes     | 60%      | 72%          | 43.2         |
| **Overall** | **100%** |              | **77.2**     |

<Note>
  The weights vary by course — your teacher decides how much assignments and
  quizzes count toward the final grade. The weights always add up to 100%.
</Note>

## Individual scores

To see scores for specific assignments or quizzes:

* **Assignments**: Go to the **Assignments** tab → **Submitted** section. Each
  graded assignment shows your score and teacher feedback
* **Quizzes**: Go to the **Quizzes** tab → **Submitted** section. Each completed
  quiz shows your score and (if allowed) correct answers

***

## Grade updates

Your grades update automatically when:

* A teacher grades your assignment submission
* You complete a quiz (since quizzes are auto-graded)
* A teacher publishes CBT exam results

You'll receive a notification when a new grade is posted, and it will appear in
your **activity feed**.

***

## CBT exam grades

CBT exam scores are managed separately from your regular course grades. To view
CBT results:

* Go to the **CBT** tab in your course, or
* Visit [CBT Results →](/cbt/viewing-your-results) for details

<Note>
  CBT exam scores are managed separately in the CBT system and are not
  included in the course grade shown here. To view your CBT results, see
  [Viewing Your Results](/cbt/viewing-your-results).
</Note>

## Troubleshooting

<Accordion title="My grades aren't showing">
  * Your teacher may not have graded your work yet (assignments require manual
    grading) - For quizzes, your score should appear immediately after
    submission - Try refreshing the page or logging out and back in
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="My grade seems wrong">
  * Check the grade weights — a low quiz score with high weight can
    significantly affect your overall grade - Review individual assignment and
    quiz scores for any surprises - If you believe there's an error, contact
    your teacher
</Accordion>
