About this tool
About this tool
Grade Calculator applies the weighted-average formula: the final weight determines how much the current grade still counts. The required final score is the target minus the weighted current grade, divided by the final weight. All math runs locally in your browser.
Know exactly what score you need on the final exam to reach your target. Enter your current grade, the percentage the final is worth, and the overall grade you want, and the calculator returns the required final score. It also tells you when the target is already secured or impossible at the current weight.
