5. A side panel will pop up. Make sure the Enable setting is checked (green) and select Drop Grades. The Use Only function will let you choose to only count the highest or lowest grade in the category.

    

6. You can type the amount of grades you want to drop into the boxes.

    

7. Select Continue to finish.
