Final grade calculator
Work out the final exam score required for your target.
Formula
Required = (target − current × (1 − weight/100)) / (weight/100)
Required final score ≈ ((85)-(80)×(1-(40)÷100))÷((40)÷100)
How to use
- Enter the average of all work before the final.
- Enter your target and the final’s percentage weight.
- Read the exam score required.
Examples
- 80% current, 85% target, 40% final weight needs 92.5%.
