Final Grade Calculator

Trying to figure out how well you need to do on a final exam to hit a target grade? Enter your current grade, your goal grade, and what percentage of the total grade the final is worth, and this calculator works out exactly what score you need.

It also tells you plainly whether that score is easily achievable, a stretch, or mathematically out of reach given the exam's weight — so you know how much to actually worry.

The formula

Required score = (Target grade − Current grade × (1 − exam weight)) ÷ exam weight, expressed as a percentage. The tool handles this calculation instantly and lets you copy the results to share or save.
