Formula: Final Score Needed = (Target Grade - Current Grade Γ (1 - Exam Weight)) Γ· Exam Weight
Example: Current 85%, Final worth 40%, Target 90%:
(90 - 85 Γ 0.6) Γ· 0.4 = (90 - 51) Γ· 0.4 = 97.5%
If the result exceeds 100%, even a perfect final exam won't reach your target.
All levels: high school, college, and graduate school. Works for any course using weighted grade calculation.
It means that even a perfect score on the final won't reach your target. You may need to adjust your goal or improve your current grade through extra credit.
A negative result means you've already achieved your target grade! You could technically skip the final and still get your goal.
The calculator uses percentage (0-100). Convert your letter grades to percentages first (A=90, B=80, C=70, etc.) based on your school's scale.
