How it works

If your final exam is worth W%, your current grade counts for (100 − W)%. The required final score is calculated using: Required = (Target − Current × (1 − W)) / W. This tool is for quick planning; always follow your syllabus grading rules if they differ.

Explanation

Find the score you need on a final exam to hit a target overall grade.

  • If the final weight is W%, your current grade weight is (100−W)%.
  • Required final score: need = (target − current×(1−W)) ÷ W (with W as a fraction).
  • If the required score is above 100%, you’ll see it’s not reachable.
