Final Exam Grade Calculator

Find the score you need on the final exam to get the course grade you want, given your current grade and how much the final is worth.

How to use

  1. 1Enter your current grade and the final exam's weight.
  2. 2Enter the overall grade you want to end up with.

How it's calculated

Needed = (target − current × (1 − weight)) ÷ weight.

Frequently asked questions

What if the answer is over 100%?

Then the target isn't reachable with the final alone, unless there's extra credit.

What does 'current grade' mean here?

Your grade in the course before the final, as a percentage of the work graded so far.

Can I use points instead of percentages?

Convert to percentages first; this calculator works with weighted percentages.
