About Final Grade Calculator
This calculator works out the final exam score required to reach a target course grade. With the final worth a fraction w of the course, required score = (target − current × (1 − w)) ÷ w. For a current grade of 78, a target of 85, and a final worth 40%, you need (85 − 78 × 0.6) ÷ 0.4 = 95.5. It assumes your current grade covers all the remaining course weight.

Questions about Final Grade Calculator
What if the required score is above 100?
Then the target cannot be reached through the final alone unless extra credit is available. Lower the target to see the best grade that is still possible with a perfect final.
