I am trying to use excell to calculate grades for the end of the term,
however I am not sure how to do this. I am using a percentage to calculate
but can not get an average score or overall score. For example I enter the
grades and 20% is for exams, 30% to final exam and 50% for term assignments.

Assuming your cells for Exams=A1; Final Exam=A2; Term Assig.=A3 all you
need to do is:

=(A1*.2)+(A2*.3)+(A3*.5)

If the numeric grades are laid out with exam scores in A1, term assignments
in A2, and Final exam in A3, then put the 20%, 50%, and 30% in cells B1:B3,
your formula would be

=sumproduct(A1:A3,B1:B3)
