Calculate final exam grade needed to reach target course grade from current grade and exam weight.
Calculate final exam grade needed to reach target course grade from current grade and exam weight.
Enter values above and click Calculate — results will appear here with the formula explained.
Current grade is weighted by non-final portion (1-weight), final fills remainder. Solve for needed final to hit target.
If needed >100, target impossible; if <0, already above target.
Calculate final exam grade needed to reach target course grade from current grade and exam weight. Formula: Needed = (target - current*(1-weight)) / weight. Example: With 85% current, 90% target, 30% final weight: needed = (90-85*0.7)/0.3 = 101.67% — impossible, need 101.7%.
