The percentage grading system is the most widely used system. It calculates a student's grade as a percentage of total points earned out of total points possible. While simple to use, it does not account for differences in exercise types. Some teachers use contracts that specify performance requirements to earn a particular grade. Recordkeeping can be simplified through electronic grade books. Accurate attendance records are also important for determining school funding and verifying student presence. Report cards typically report grades derived from test scores, homework, class participation, behavior, and attitude.
