Final Grade Calculator

Find the score you need on the final exam to hit a course goal. Type your current grade, how much the final is worth as a percent of the course, and the overall grade you want. The result is the minimum final score that lands that goal on a weighted average.

If the needed score is over 100%, the goal is out of reach at that weight unless extra credit exists. If the needed score is negative or very low, you already cleared the goal even with a weak final — still sit the exam if attendance or syllabus rules require it.

Syllabus rounding, curves, and drop-lowest quiz rules are not applied automatically. Adjust your “current” grade first if those policies already changed what the LMS shows.

Need equals (Goal − Current × (1 − w)) / w, where w is the final’s weight as a fraction of the course. Current and Goal are percents on the same 0–100 scale. Weights above 1 or zero are rejected so the rearrange stays defined.
