    "context": "The exam's weight tells you how much it could have moved you: at 40% weight, each 10 points on the exam is 4 points of course grade. If your school rounds at .5, the 85.6% becomes 86% — worth knowing when you're sitting at 89.4% and the A is one exam question away. Teachers who grade on a curve apply it after this calculation, so the curved grade can only be estimated until the class distribution is known.",
