A Final Grade Calculator helps students determine the score needed on a final exam to achieve a desired overall course grade.
It uses your current grade, desired grade, and final exam weight to calculate the minimum score required on the final exam.
Yes. The calculator works for schools, colleges, universities, and any course that uses percentage-based grading.
This means the target grade is mathematically impossible to achieve with the current grade and exam weight.
If the final exam has no weight (0%), your current grade is already your permanent final grade, and exam performance will not alter your overall course standing.
