Frequently Asked Questions

The Final Grade Calculator uses this formula: Required = (Goal − Current × (100% − Final Weight)) ÷ Final Weight. This accounts for your current grade, desired final grade, and the weight of your final exam.

Yes. As long as you can convert your grades to percentages, the Final Grade Calculator will work. For example, if you're on a 4.0 scale, you might consider A (4.0) as 95%, B (3.0) as 85%, and so on.

A negative or zero result means you've already achieved or exceeded your target grade. Even if you score 0% on the final, your overall grade would still meet or exceed your goal.
