How the Final Grade Predictor Works
Your course grade is a weighted average of your current grade and your final exam score. Given your current grade, how much the final is worth, and the grade you want to end up with, this calculator rearranges that weighted-average equation to solve for the one unknown: the score you need on the final.
Enter your current grade, the final's weight as a percentage of your total grade, and your target final grade to see exactly what you need to hit.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if the required score is over 100%?
That means your desired grade isn't reachable through the final exam alone, given your current standing — you'd need extra credit or a grade change elsewhere.
What if the required score is 0% or negative?
It means you've already secured your desired grade based on your current standing, regardless of your final exam score.
Does this account for extra credit?
No — it assumes a standard 0–100% scale for both your current grade and the final. Extra credit would need to be factored in separately.
