How to Use This Calculator
Enter your current grade in the class (before the final), the weight of your final exam as a percentage, and select your target grade. The calculator will instantly show you what score you need on your final to achieve that grade.
The Final Grade Formula
Required Final Score = (Desired Grade - Current Grade × (1 - Final Weight)) / Final WeightExample: If your current grade is 85%, your final is worth 20%, and you want a 90% (A) in the class:
Required = (90 - 85 × 0.80) / 0.20 = (90 - 68) / 0.20 = 110%
This means an A would require 110% on the final, which isn't possible without extra credit.
Tips for Final Exam Success
- Start studying early - cramming the night before is less effective
- Review past tests and quizzes to identify your weak areas
- Use practice problems and study guides provided by your teacher
- Get enough sleep the night before - rest improves memory and focus
- If you're struggling, ask your teacher about office hours or tutoring
