What it calculates
Find the score you need on your final to hit your target grade.
Whether you think of it as a "final grade calculator" tool, a "what do i need on my final" tool, or simply the Final Grade Calculator, this page covers the same calculation.
You can find it at any time on the Final Grade Calculator page, where the calculator sits above a full explanation of the method it uses.
Tips for an accurate result
Keep a running log of grades through the term rather than reconstructing them from memory near the end.
Re-run the calculation whenever a syllabus weighting changes, which happens more often than students expect.
Recalculate after every graded assignment — a single new grade can shift your target more than expected.
Check your school's specific grading scale — some use different grade-point values than the common 4.0 scale.
