Final Grade Calculator

Use the formula: Required Score = (Desired Grade - Current Grade × (1 - Final Weight)) / Final Weight. Enter your current grade and final exam weight above, and the calculator will show you exactly what you need.

If the calculator shows you need more than 100%, that target grade is mathematically impossible with your current standing. Consider aiming for a lower but still achievable grade, or talk to your teacher about extra credit opportunities.

Check your class syllabus, which is usually provided at the beginning of the course. You can also ask your teacher or look in your learning management system (Canvas, Blackboard, Google Classroom, etc.) for the grade breakdown.

Your current grade is your overall class grade with all assignments, tests, and quizzes factored in, but before the final exam. Most online gradebooks show this as your "current" or "running" grade.

It depends on your current grade and how much the final is worth. Use this calculator to see different scenarios - even if you score 0% on the final, you might still pass if your current grade is high enough and the final weight is low enough.

Some classes have policies where the final can replace a low test score. In this case, calculate both scenarios: with and without the replacement, then see which gives you a better outcome.
