Formula Used

The Final Grade Calculator uses two standard academic formulas:

Required Final Exam Score: Required Score = (Target Grade − Current Grade × (1 − Final Weight)) ÷ Final Weight

Projected Final Course Grade: Final Grade = (Current Grade × (1 − Final Weight)) + (Final Exam Score × Final Weight)

Example for a student with a current grade of 85%, a target grade of 90%, and a final exam worth 40%:

• Required Score = (90 − 85 × 0.60) ÷ 0.40
• Required Score = (90 − 51) ÷ 0.40
• Required Score = 39 ÷ 0.40 = 97.5%

Example verification — projected grade if the student scores 97.5% on the final:

• Final Grade = (85 × 0.60) + (97.5 × 0.40) = 51 + 39 = 90% ✅
