Assignments Groups Weighted By Percent Grade Not Points

I am hopefully going to explain this as clearly as possible.
My course is grade with percentages, not points. For example my Exams are worth 60% of the grade and I have 4 of them, thus they are each worth 15%. My exams do not have the same amount of questions, thus if even if put each question as 1 point each they still would not be the same amount of points. I know people say oh just make it where you questions add up to 100 points... well 100 does not divide by 35 very well.
How I have done this in other LMS is that the average for exams is based upon the PERCENT grade not the points. I have searched and tweaked things but I have yet to find a way to make this work in canvas. Has anyone figured this out?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi @EmilieBaker
Within an Assignment Group, the grades are all proportional--that is, the grade for the assignment group is calculated by adding up all of the scores, divided by the total points possible. There isn't a way to have "equal weighting" within an assignment group for assignments worth different points, as far as I can see.
Your best bet to do what you are describing is to create an individual 15% assignment group for each of the 4 exams.
