Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find the grade I need on my final?
Enter your current grade, its weight, and the exam weight; it solves for the score needed to reach your target overall grade.
What if the required score is above 100%?
That means your target is out of reach with the final alone, so adjust your goal or look for extra-credit opportunities.
How are weighted grades calculated?
Each component is multiplied by its weight and summed, so a heavily weighted final has a big impact on the total.
