No, the overall grade factors in the percentage values of each test. ie. Lets say you have seven tests, a midterm, and a final and the smaller tests are worth 10% and both the midterm and final are worth both 15.
You make exactly 85% on every test and the midterm before taking the final. Each test would yield you 8.5 points towards your overall grade and the midterm would yield you 12.75 points. In total this would come out to be 72.25% or (8.5*7) + 12.75 = 72.25%.
If you made a zero on the exam, then you would get zero points added to your final score giving you an overall grade of 72.25%.
If you clicked through the exam keeping the same answer throughout the entire exam based on four possible answers, statistics say you should be near 25% and it is mandatory to take the final. Therefore, if you made a 25% on the final that would yield 3.75points towards your overall grade giving you a 76% as an overall grade.
