How to use this calculator

Use this calculator to estimate what score is needed on a final exam to reach a target course grade. Enter your current grade, the grade you want, and how much the final exam is worth.

Example

If your current grade is 82%, your target grade is 90%, and the final exam is worth 20% of the course, the calculator estimates what final exam score you need to reach that goal.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Enter the final exam weight as a percent, not as a decimal.
• Make sure your current grade is accurate before calculating.
• Remember that some schools round grades differently.

This tool gives an estimate based on the numbers entered. Always follow the grading rules used by your teacher, class, or school.
