Refreshing values in an Acrobat Form

I have a final grade calculation sheet that works pretty well except for when it refreshes with a new entry or change.  It seems to be lacking behind by one calculation...and I have ensured all the tabs are indeed in the order they need to be.  There's nothing complex about the sheet so I'm at a loss for what I'm missing to make the entire form update with any change in value(s).  The form is below.  Any direction pointing would be greatly appreciated.  Note: I'm a beginner at javascript...the scripts in the form now came from a number of other forums and examples!

Check the fields calculation order (via Tools - Forms - Prepare Form - More - Set Field Calculation Order).

Check field calculation order, while in "prepare form" click on "More" then on "Field calculation order",

make sure fields that calculate first goes on top.

Here is an example:

Fixed...thanks!  I had erroneous thought that the tab order was the calculation order as I couldn't find the selection you mentioned in your note.  

 

Working like a charm now...I love it, but my students won't!!!

Thanks again...
