Frequently asked questions
How is the needed final grade worked out?
The formula is: needed = (desired grade − current grade × coursework weight) ÷ final exam weight. For example, with 85% now, a 30% final and a 90% target, you need (90 − 85 × 0.7) ÷ 0.3 = 101.7%.
What if I need more than 100% on the final?
Then the target is impossible with those numbers — even a perfect final would not be enough. The calculator tells you the best overall grade you can still reach.
What counts as my current grade?
Your grade so far, weighted across everything already marked — homework, quizzes and midterms — before the final exam. If your coursework is 70% of the grade, that is the number to enter.
Can I use letter grades like A or B?
Convert them to percentages first — for example A = 90–100%, B = 80–89%. The calculator works in percentages throughout.
