Final Grade Formula:
| From: | To: |
The Final Grade Calculator determines your overall course grade based on your current grade and the weight of your final exam. It helps students understand what score they need on their final exam to achieve their desired course grade.
The calculator uses the following equation:
Where:
Note: The sum of Weight and Exam Weight must equal 100%.
Details: Understanding how your final exam affects your overall grade helps with study planning and setting realistic academic goals.
Tips: Enter your current grade percentage, its weight, your exam score (or expected score), and the exam's weight. All values must be between 0-100% and weights must sum to 100%.
Q1: What if my course has multiple components?
A: This calculator assumes two components (current grade and final exam). For more complex calculations, use a weighted grade calculator.
Q2: Can I use this to calculate needed exam score?
A: Yes, by trying different exam grade values until you reach your desired final grade.
Q3: What if my weights don't add up to 100%?
A: The calculator will show an error. Adjust your weights so they total exactly 100%.
Q4: Does this work for any grading system?
A: It works for percentage-based systems. For letter grades, convert them to percentages first.
Q5: How accurate is this calculation?
A: It's mathematically precise, assuming your input values are accurate and the course uses simple weighted averaging.
