Final Grade FAQ
How are weighted grades calculated?
A weighted grade system gives different assignments and exams different levels of importance. To calculate your current grade, we multiply your score in each category by its weight, sum up these values, and then divide by the sum of the weights of the categories you've completed so far. This calculator does this automatically to determine how your final exam will impact your overall grade.
How is the required final exam score calculated?
The formula to find the required score on your final is:
Required Score = [ Desired Grade - (100% - Final Weight) × Current Grade ] / Final Weight
Where 'Current Grade' is the weighted average of all your completed assignments. This calculator handles all the intermediate steps for you.
What does it mean if I need over 100%?
If the calculator shows you need a score over 100%, it means your desired overall grade is mathematically impossible to achieve, even with a perfect score on the final exam. This can happen if the final exam isn't weighted heavily enough to raise your average to the desired level. Use the "What-If Scenarios" to see what your best possible grade could be.
