Final Grade Calculator

See what score you need on your final exam to reach your target course grade.

Use this final grade calculator to estimate the score you need on your final exam based on your current grade, the exam weight and the overall grade you want to finish with. It works well for schools, colleges, online courses and any grading system that uses weighted averages.

Enter your current grade, the percentage weight of the final exam and your target overall grade. If your course uses a scale other than 100, such as 10, 20 or 4 points, simply change the maximum grade scale field.

The tool also shows the course grade you would end with if you scored zero or the maximum possible mark on the final. That makes it easier to judge risk, margin and whether the target is realistically within reach.

Use the percentage that the final exam represents in the whole course grade. The scale can be 10, 20, 100 or another maximum.
