There is no contact form on this site, which also means nothing you send travels through it. Email is the only channel.

What gets answered first

A report that a calculation is wrong goes to the top of the queue, ahead of everything else. If you have found one, the most useful message contains four things: which page, exactly what you typed into each box, the number the page gave you, and the number you expected with your working. With those four items a fix usually takes minutes; without them it usually takes a reply asking for them.

Also welcome

A grading scale arrangement that is common enough to belong in the comparison table and is not there.
An input format the score box should accept and does not.
A page whose explanation is unclear, or which answers a slightly different question than its title promises.
Accessibility problems — a control that does not work by keyboard, contrast that fails, a label a screen reader reads wrongly.

What cannot be answered

Questions about a specific school's grading policy. We deliberately make no claim about any named school, district or state on this site, and we are not in a position to tell you where your A begins or whether your instructor rounds. Those answers live in your syllabus, your student handbook, or a two-line email to the person who is doing the grading — and that email is worth sending well before the last week of the term.

Requests to appeal, change or challenge a grade also fall outside what a calculator can help with. The arithmetic on this site can show you what the numbers imply; only your institution can act on it.

Things the site already answers

A few questions arrive often enough that the answer is worth having in front of you before you write. "Why doesn't this match my portal?" is nearly always a methods mismatch — your course is graded on total points and you entered category weights, or the reverse. The grade calculator lets you switch between the two on the same data, and the grid there shows the same three scores coming out as 72.00% one way and 67.78% the other. "Is a 92 an A?" depends entirely on your school's bands; the comparison table on the same page lists every percentage where the common scales disagree. "Does 89.5 round up?" is your instructor's call, which is why the tool offers it as a checkbox and does not decide for you.

"The final grade calculator says I need more than 100%." That is the correct answer, not a bug — it means the target is no longer reachable on the work that remains, and the page prints the highest grade you can actually finish with instead of pretending a perfect paper is enough. "It says I need 0.00% on the final." Also correct: your target is already secured even with a zero on the exam, so the honest requirement is nothing at all.

For teachers and tutors

You are welcome to use any of these calculators in a classroom, link to them from a course page, or put the grade calculator directly into your own site — there is a copy-paste embed snippet at the bottom of the home page that drops the whole tool into an iframe with no tracking script attached. If you need a chart printed rather than embedded, the quiz table on the test grade calculator is plain HTML and prints straight from the browser.

Two things we will not do, and it is worth saying why. We will not publish any named school's, district's or state's grading policy, because we cannot verify it and a confident wrong claim about a real institution is worse than saying nothing. And we will not present any scale as the standard, because there isn't one. If you would like a scale arrangement added to the comparison table, tell us what its bands are and we will include it labelled the same way as the others — as a common arrangement rather than a rule.

Timing

Gradely is maintained by one person alongside other work, so replies usually take a few business days and sometimes longer, particularly around the start and end of a term when the queue is heaviest. A message that goes unanswered has not been ignored — resending after a couple of weeks is entirely reasonable.
