About this tool
Heading into a final exam, it helps to know exactly what you need to score to hit your target grade. This calculator works it out from your current grade, your goal and how much the final is worth.
Enter the three numbers and it shows the required final score. If the answer is at or below zero you have already secured your goal; if it is above 100% the goal is not reachable from the final alone. Everything runs in your browser.
Frequently asked questions
How is the required grade calculated?
It solves for the final score so that your current grade and the final, weighted by the final's percentage, average to your goal.
What if the result is over 100%?
Then your goal can't be reached from the final exam alone — you'd need extra credit or a different target.
