not very good.
it depends on the weighting that was given to you by your class work and each test.
if your class work is worth 50% and your test scores are worth 50%, then you would get .5*94 + .5*50 = 72
if your class work is worth 25% and your test scores are worth 75% then you would get .25*94 + .75*50 = 61
if your class work is worth 75% and your test scores are worth 25% then you would get .75*94 + .25*50 = 83
you won't be able to figure your final grade until you know what the weighting factors are.
also, if you take several tests, they each might have a different weighting.
an ordinary test might be only worth 10% of your grade while a semi-final might be worth 20% of your grade while a final exam might be worth 30% of your grade while your classwork might be worth the difference.
suppose you take 3 tests plus a semi-final plus a final.
3*10% + 1*20% + 1*30% = 80% which leaves 20% for the classwork.
the formula that your instructor uses for the final score is what will determine your overall score.
you need to check with your teacher.
