Final Grade Needed Calculator
This tool answers a common question before an exam: what score do you need to reach a target grade or the minimum passing grade?
Required score
Required score = (target grade - current grade x completed weight) / final exam weight
Example
If your current average is 78, your target is 70, and the final exam is worth 30%, you need 51.33 on the final exam.
How to read the result
- If the required score is 0 or less, you already reach the target.
- If it is between 0 and 100, the target is reachable.
- If it is above 100, the target is not reachable with the final exam alone.
Yes, as long as you convert your grades to a 0-100 scale and use the real final exam weight.
