Final Grade Calculator
Find out exactly what you need to score on your final exam to hit your target grade. Enter your current grade, the final's weight, and your target- it's free, instant, and stores nothing.
Enter your current grade, the final's weight, and your target to see the score you need.
Assumes your current grade covers everything except the final, and the final makes up the remaining weight. Check your syllabus for exact weightings.
How it works
Your final overall grade is a weighted blend of everything so far and the final exam. If the final is worth, say, 30% of your grade, then the other 70% is already locked in by your current grade. The calculator rearranges that relationship to solve for the one unknown - the score you need on the final - so you know exactly what to aim for going into exam day.
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate what I need on my final?+
Take your target overall grade, subtract your current grade times the portion of the grade that isn't the final, then divide by the final's weight. In plain terms: required final = (target - current x (1 - finalWeight)) / finalWeight. This calculator does it for you - just enter your current grade, the final's weight, and your target.
What grade do I need on my final to get an A or B?+
Enter your current grade, how much the final is worth, and the overall percentage an A or B requires at your school (often 90% for an A and 80% for a B). The calculator shows the exact score you need on the final to reach that target.
What if it says I need more than 100%?+
That means your target isn't reachable from the final alone - even a perfect final wouldn't be enough. Aim for the highest score you can (which still maximizes your grade), talk to your teacher about extra credit, or set a slightly lower but achievable target.
