Understanding Your Final Exam Score

What if I need more than 100% on my final?

If the calculator shows you need more than 100% on your final exam, it means your target grade is mathematically impossible with the current assignment weights. Consider speaking with your instructor about extra credit opportunities or adjusting your target grade.

How accurate is this final exam calculator?

Our final exam calculator uses standard weighted average formulas used by most educational institutions. The calculation is: (Target Grade - Current Weighted Points) ÷ (Final Exam Weight ÷ 100). However, always verify with your course syllabus as some instructors may use different grading methods.
