Good to Know
How it works. Your final grade = (your current grade × the part of the grade already earned) + (your final score × the final's weight). This tool rearranges that to solve for the score you need. It assumes your "current grade" covers everything except the final.
If the number is over 100%. Your target may not be reachable through the final alone — you'd need extra credit, or to aim for a slightly lower (still great) grade. If it's 0 or below, congratulations: you've already locked in your target no matter what.
Plan your studying. Knowing your target score helps you budget your time across all your finals — put more energy where you need a higher score. See our Study Skills and Test-Taking Strategies toolkits for exam prep that works.
A simplified estimate assuming your final is weighted as a percentage of your overall grade. If your class uses a points system or drops/curves grades, the exact number may differ — check with your teacher.
