How It Works

This tool helps you plan your studying by showing the exact score required to maintain or improve your grade.

Required Final Score = (Target Grade - Current Grade × (1 - Weight)) / Weight

Current Grade: 88%
Target Grade: 90%
Final Weight: 20% (0.2)

(90 - 88 × (1 - 0.2)) / 0.2
(90 - 70.4) / 0.2 = 98%

You need a 98% on the final to get an A.

Is it possible to get my desired grade? ▼

The calculator will tell you if the required score is above 100%. If so, you may need extra credit or to adjust your goal.

Does this work for points? ▼

This specific calculator works best with percentages. If you use points, convert your current points to a percentage first.
