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.
