Frequently Asked Questions
What does this calculator do?
It estimates the score you need on your final component—like a test or project—to reach a specific overall course grade.
How accurate is it?
It uses a straightforward weighted average formula, so it's very accurate if you know your current grade and the final’s weight.
Can I use this for multiple components?
Yes, but you’ll need to calculate each component’s score separately or combine their weights and estimate together.
What if the score I need is above 100%?
That means it’s not possible to reach your desired grade with just the final. You might need to improve earlier scores or adjust goals.
