About this calculator
Your course grade is a weighted average: the work you've already done counts for part of it, and the final exam counts for the rest. If your current grade is 75% and the final is worth 40%, your existing work contributes 75 × 0.6 = 45 points — so reaching an 80% overall needs (80 − 45) ÷ 0.4 = 87.5% on the final.
A result over 100% means the target isn't reachable with this final weight — pick a lower target to see what is. A result at or below zero means you've already secured the target even with a blank exam (check the syllabus's rules before celebrating).
Enter the current grade as it stands across all non-final work, and the weight as the final's share of the total course grade.
