Calculate what you need on the final
When a final exam is worth a fixed part of the course grade, you can calculate the score needed to reach a target. Enter your current grade, desired final grade and the final exam weight, and the calculator shows the required exam score. You can also enter an expected final score to see the projected course grade.
Plan with weighted grades
The formula uses current grade times coursework weight plus final exam score times final weight. It is helpful for planning study goals, but always check the course syllabus for grading rules, drops and extra credit.
Frequently asked questions
What does final exam weight mean?
It is the percent of the overall course grade assigned to the final exam, such as 30 percent.
What if the needed score is over 100 percent?
That target may not be reachable with the current grade and final weight unless extra credit or other grade changes apply.
Can I use this for any class?
Yes, as long as the class uses a simple weighted final exam calculation.
