Your final course grade — and how it changes with every exam score — will appear here.
How this calculator works
This calculator works forwards: enter the score you got (or expect) on the final exam and see your resulting course grade.
Course grade = current × (1 − w) + exam score × w where w = final weight ÷ 100
Example: current grade 88%, final worth 25%, exam score 74%: 88 × 0.75 + 74 × 0.25 = 84.5%.
The table shows your course grade for every exam score from 0% to 100%, so you can see exactly how much the final can move your grade.
