Calculators

What you need on the final.

The score you need on a final exam to end a course on the grade you want, worked out from your grade now and what the final counts for.

The Grade calculator: four courses with letters and credits making a GPA of 3.45, 48.3 points over 14 credits

One sum tells you what to aim for.

The sum.

Needed = (wanted − now × (1 − final's share)) ÷ final's share. From 85% to 90% with a final worth 25%: (90 − 63.75) ÷ 0.25 = 105%.

Over 100%.

Then the grade cannot be reached on the final alone without extra credit, and the page says so; try a lower aim.

Your grade now.

Use your grade over everything before the final, as your teacher's gradebook shows it.
