What Is the Grade Needed Calculator?

This calculator tells you the minimum score you must earn on your final exam to reach a specific overall course grade. It accounts for your current grade and how much the final exam counts toward your total.

Formula

Required Score = (Target − Current × (1 − Weight/100)) ÷ (Weight/100)
Example: Current 75%, Target 80%, Final worth 30% → (80 − 75×0.70) ÷ 0.30 = 91.7%
