Final Grade Calculator
Find out the exact score you need on your final exam to reach a target grade: enter current average, final weight and goal.
About this tool
Before any final exam, this calculator answers the exact question on every student’s mind: what score do I need to hit my target grade?
Enter your current average, the weight the final carries and the grade you want — you get a precise target instead of wishful thinking. If the number is above 100%, you know to negotiate, or just aim for the best possible and watch the weight of prior work.
FAQ
How is the final grade worked out?
Your current average counts for the rest of the term: needed score = (target - current x (1 - weight)) / weight.
Why do I sometimes need over 100%?
Because the weight of the final is too small or the current grade too far from the goal — the math says it is out of reach.
How do I improve my final grade?
Start with the highest-weight assignments: they move the average more per point of effort.
