Fill in the details and click Calculate to see your results.
Enter your current grade in the course, the overall grade you want, and how much the final exam counts. The calculator tells you the minimum you must score on the final.
If the score needed is above 100%, the target is out of reach (unless there is extra credit); if it is below 0%, you have already secured it.
| Current grade | 80% |
| Grade you want overall | 85% |
| Final exam weight | 30% |
| Score needed on the final | 96.67% |
| Overall grade if you score 100% | 86% |
| Overall grade if you score 0% | 56% |
(85 − 80 × 0.7) ÷ 0.3 = 96.67%.
Try this example →| Current grade | 92% |
| Grade you want overall | 90% |
| Final exam weight | 40% |
| Score needed on the final | 87% |
| Overall grade if you score 100% | 95.2% |
| Overall grade if you score 0% | 55.2% |
87% is enough.
Try this example →Subtract your current grade times (1 − final weight) from your target, then divide by the final weight. With 80% now, a target of 85% and a 30% final: (85 − 56) ÷ 0.3 = 96.7%.
You cannot reach that target with the final alone. Check whether there is extra credit or aim for the next grade down.
