Final Grade Calculator Overview

Inputs:

Current Grade (%) - Your current grade in the course before the final exam.
Final Exam Weight (%) - The percentage weight of the final exam in your overall grade.
Desired Final Grade (%) - The overall grade you want to achieve in the course.

Output:

Required grade on the final exam (%) to achieve your desired overall grade.

Formula:

The required final exam grade is calculated using the formula:

Required Final Grade = (Desired Grade - (Current Grade × (1 - Final Weight / 100))) ÷ (Final Weight / 100)

Example:

If your current grade is 75%, the final exam is worth 30% of your grade, and you want a final grade of 80%, the required final exam grade is:

(80 - (75 × (1 - 30/100))) ÷ (30/100) = 92.5%
