Enter your current grade, the exam's weight, and your target grade — we'll tell you exactly what to aim for.
The formula used by this final grade calculator:
Required = (Desired Grade − Current Grade × (1 − Exam Weight)) ÷ Exam Weight
For example, if your current grade is 78%, the final is worth 40%, and you want a 80% — you need 83.3% on the final.
This final grade calculator helps students quickly find out what score they need on their final exam to achieve their desired overall course grade. It works for any grading system where your final exam is worth a percentage of your total grade.
