Final Grade Calculator

Course grade = current grade × (1 − final weight) + final score × final weight. Solving for the final score: required = (desired − current × (1 − weight)) ÷ weight. A 20%-weighted final means your current grade contributes the other 80%.

The target is mathematically out of reach on the final alone. The calculator shows the best grade you can still finish with — aim there, and check the syllabus for extra credit, dropped assignments, or rounding policies that might bridge the gap.

Yes — your current grade is high enough that even a zero on the final keeps you at or above the target. Don't actually skip the exam though: some syllabi have must-take-the-final rules that override the math.

Find the final's true share of the total: if exams are 40% of the course and the final is half the exam category, the final's effective weight is 20%. Enter that effective weight here.
