What-If Calculator

Canvas allows you to estimate your grades based on "What-if" scores you might get on upcoming assignments or resubmissions of assignments. You are able to enter test scores for an assignment that may already have a score or waiting to be graded. 

To use the "What-If Calculator", open your grades by clicking on "Grades" in the course navigation. In the right-hand side bar, you will notice the total score for the course (displayed in either points or as a percentage). You will also notice a check-box to "Calculate based only on graded assignments." This checkbox is selected by default. If you want to view the total grade including ungraded assignments, you will want to uncheck this box. 

To enter a "What-If" score, find the assignment in the list and click on the "Score" cell that corresponds to that assignment. You will then be allowed to enter a hypothetical score for that assignment. The Grades page should update with that hypothesized score. 

To revert back to the original gradebook, click on the left-facing arrow next to the "What-If" score you just entered.
