Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate what I need on my final?
Use the formula: Needed = (Desired Grade - Current Grade x (1 - Final Weight)) / Final Weight. For example, if you have an 85% and want a 90% with a 30% final, you need (90 - 85 x 0.70) / 0.30 = 101.7%.
What if the required grade is over 100%?
If the calculator shows you need more than 100%, it means achieving your desired grade through the final exam alone is mathematically impossible. Consider adjusting your target grade.
