Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate what I need on my final?
Required score = (target grade − current grade × (1 − final weight)) ÷ final weight. With a current grade of 82%, a target of 85% and a final worth 30%: (85 − 82 × 0.7) ÷ 0.3 = 92%.
What if the result is over 100%?
Then the target grade can't be reached with the final exam alone, unless there's extra credit. The table shows the highest grade you can still reach.
What is my current grade?
Your grade in the course so far, before the final, as a percentage. Most online grade books show it. If your course uses points, divide your points by the possible points.
What if there's more than one assignment left?
Combine everything that's left into one weight. For example, if a project worth 10% and a final worth 25% remain, use 35% and the result is the average score you need on both.
