Frequently Asked Questions

How does the final grade calculator work?

The calculator uses the formula: Final Grade = (Current Grade × (100 - Final Weight) + Final Exam Score × Final Weight) ÷ 100. It solves for the required final exam score to achieve your desired grade.

What if I need more than 100% on the final?

If the calculator shows you need more than 100%, it means your desired grade is mathematically impossible with your current standing. You may need to adjust your target grade or speak with your professor about extra credit opportunities.

How do I find my current grade?

Your current grade is typically available on your course's learning management system (LMS) like Canvas, Blackboard, or Moodle. It should show your grade before the final exam, weighted appropriately for all completed assignments.

Can I use this for multiple classes?

Yes! The calculator works for any class structure. Just enter the appropriate values for each course. Different classes may have different final exam weights, so always check your syllabus.
