What score do you need on your final exam to get the grade you want?
Formula: Required Score = (Target − Current × (1 − Final Weight%)) ÷ Final Weight%
Example: Current 75%, Target 80%, Final worth 30% → Need (80 − 75 × 0.70) ÷ 0.30 = 91.7%
Use the formula: Required = (Target − Current × (1 − Final Weight)) ÷ Final Weight. This tells you the exact score needed on your final to achieve your target course grade.
If your result is over 100%, your target grade is mathematically impossible given your current standing and the exam weight. Try lowering your target grade to see what's still achievable.
It's the percentage of your total course grade that the final exam counts for. Check your course syllabus. Common values are 20%, 30%, or 40%.
