About this calculator
Determine the score you need on a final exam to hit your target course grade. Standard weighted-average formula: final = current × pre-weight + exam × exam-weight. Solve for exam score. If required > 100%, target is mathematically impossible — adjust target or boost other components (extra credit, makeup work). If required is achievable, plan study time accordingly.
