Final Grade Calculator

Find the final exam score needed to reach your target course grade.

About the Final Grade Calculator

The final grade calculator estimates the score you need on a remaining final exam after accounting for your current grade and the exam weight.

How to use it

  1. Enter your current grade before the final exam.
  2. Enter the overall course grade you want and the final exam weight.
  3. Calculate and review whether the required exam score is achievable.

Calculation formula

Required exam grade = (desired grade - current grade × remaining-course weight) / final-exam weight. All weights are converted from percentages to decimals.

Understanding the message

A result above 100% means the target is not achievable under the entered weights. A result at or below zero means the target is already secured.

Example

With an 82% current grade, an 85% target and a final worth 30%, the required final-exam score is 92%.
