How to use the Final Exam Grade Calculator

  1. Enter your current grade in the class.
  2. Enter the overall grade you want.
  3. Enter how much the final exam is worth.
  4. Read the score you need, plus a table of outcomes.

What does this tool do?

Your final grade is a blend of your current grade and your final exam score, weighted by how much the final counts. Rearranging that gives the score you need.

Why use it?

  • Know how hard to study.
  • See whether your goal is still possible.
  • Check the grade you'd get with different scores.

Example

With 84% now, a target of 90% and a final worth 30%: needed = (90 − 84 × 0.70) ÷ 0.30 = 104%. That's only possible with extra credit — but a target of 87% needs 94%.

The formula

Needed = (Target − Current × (1 − w)) ÷ w
w = final exam weight ÷ 100
