Simple Gradebook is a simple app to track and calculate your grades. Simply enter your Courses and Assessments, and Gradebook will calculate your current average in your Course and Term. Gradebook supports: • Assessments with individual weights e.g. "My Midterm exam is worth 10% of my final grade." • Assessments with multiple sub-assessments e.g. "There are 10 assignments. Combined they are worth 10% of my final grade." • Courses with a number of credit units • Pass/fail Courses I created Gradebook when I was in school to track my grades. Before that I was using a spreadsheet to do my calculations. I hope you enjoy using Gradebook. Please leave a review If you have suggestions for improvement!

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SchoolExams at none against Simple Gradebook's 1. Simple Gradebook's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 6 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
