Method
The tool solves the weighted-grade equation for the score needed on the remaining assessment.
Find the final assessment score needed to reach your target grade.
Solve the weighted-grade equation and flag targets outside the possible range.
Current and final assessment weights must add to 100%. The result is the score needed on the final assessment.
Context & Reference
Calculators are most useful when their assumptions are clear. Review these details to better understand the logic behind the results.
The tool solves the weighted-grade equation for the score needed on the remaining assessment.
Enter the current grade, completed weight, target grade, and final-assessment weight.
The required score shows what the remaining assessment would need to contribute to reach the target.
If 80% of work is at 75% and the final is worth 20%, the required final score is higher than 75% to raise the total.
A target may be impossible or already secured depending on the inputs; course policies and extra credit are not modeled.
