Final grade calculator
Find the exact score you need on your final exam to reach the course grade you want.
What do I need on my final?
Work out your final-exam target
Enter your current grade in the class, the final course grade you're aiming for, and how much your final exam is worth. The calculator solves for the exact score you need on the final — and tells you honestly whether it's comfortable, demanding, already secured, or impossible.
How it works
Your course grade is a weighted blend: course = current × (1 − weight) + final × weight. Rearranged, the score you need on the final is (target − current × (1 − weight)) ÷ weight. The result also shows the best grade you could still finish with (if you ace the final) and the floor you'd land on if you skipped it.
Planning more than one class?
To plan across a whole semester or your degree, use the target GPA calculator, which solves for the average you need across all your remaining credits.
