Final Grade Calculator
Find the final exam score needed for your target grade.
🎓 Solves for the final exam score needed to reach your target grade. If over 100%, the goal is unreachable.
What Is This Tool?
This calculator answers the classic student question: "What do I need on the final to get an A?" Enter your current grade, target grade, and final exam weight to see the required score.
How It Works
Solves for the final exam score using the weighted average formula: target = current × (1 − w) + final × w. Rearranging: final = (target − current(1−w)) / w.
When It's Impossible
If the required final score is over 100%, your target is unreachable — even a perfect final won't get you there. The tool will warn you in this case.
Frequently Asked Questions
My final is cumulative — does this still work?
Yes — the formula works for any final exam. The "weight" is just how much the final counts toward your total grade, regardless of what it covers.
