Climb rate vs. speed or weight

How can I correct (approximately) rate-of-climb numbers for different speeds or weights?

I did such a test on an C182 I'm planning to buy a share in a few days ago but unfortunately both pilots got the test slightly wrong: we used the speed for MTOW with significantly less than that. Since I'm looking only for an approximate number some form of adjustment for either weight or speed will do.

Thanks.
