How it works

Your current grade counts for the rest of the course (100% minus the final's weight). The tool solves for the final exam score that makes the weighted total equal your target: (target − current × (1 − weight)) ÷ weight.

FAQ

How do I calculate the grade I need on my final exam?

Required score = (target − current × (1 − weight)) ÷ weight. With a current grade of 80, a target of 85 and a final worth 25%, you need (85 − 80 × 0.75) ÷ 0.25 = 100.

What if the result is over 100?

Then the target cannot be reached on the final alone unless your course offers extra credit. Try a lower target.

What is the final exam weight?

The percentage of your total course grade the final counts for, found in your syllabus. Enter 25 for 25%.
