Final Grade Needed
What you must score on the final to hit your target.
About Final Grade Needed
Final Grade Needed answers the question every student asks before an exam: what do I have to score to end up with the grade I want. It works backwards from your current mark and the weight of the final, and tells you plainly when a target is no longer reachable — which is worth knowing early.
How to use it
- Enter your current grade as a percentage.
- Enter the grade you are aiming for and what the final is worth.
- Read the score you need, plus your best and worst possible outcomes.
Questions
What does it mean if the result is over 100%?
Your target is not reachable even with a perfect final. The tool says so rather than showing an impossible number.
What if it shows a negative number?
You have already secured your target — even scoring zero on the final keeps you at or above it.
Where do I find the weight of the final?
The course syllabus. It is usually given as a percentage of the total grade, often 30–50%.
