What is it?
The Final Grade Calculator tells you the exact score you need on your final exam to finish a course with your desired grade. It accounts for the relative weight of the final versus your current standing.
How to use
Enter your current grade percentage (everything before the final), the weight the final carries in the course (e.g., 40%), and your target overall grade. The calculator instantly shows the minimum score you need on the exam.
Example scenario
You have an 85% going into finals, the exam is worth 40% of your grade, and you want a 90% overall. You need to score approximately 97.5% on the final — a very high bar but achievable with strong preparation.
Pro tip
If the required score comes out above 100%, your target grade is mathematically impossible. Consider adjusting your target or focusing study energy where extra-credit opportunities exist.
