Benefits & Use Cases

A heavy final amplifies everything — with 40% weight, each point on the final moves your grade nearly half a point. Confirm the weights in your syllabus first.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the needed score calculated?
(Target − current × completed weight) ÷ final weight — solving the weighted average for the final exam score.
What if I need over 100%?
The calculator will tell you the target is impossible at current weights — time to ask about extra credit or adjust expectations.
What does “already secured” mean?
Your current standing guarantees the target grade regardless of the final score — though still show up!
Do I enter weights as decimals or percents?
Percents — e.g. enter 30 for a final worth 30% of the grade.
