Course Grade Calculator

Work out the score needed on the rest of a course to finish on your target grade.

Course grade planning

Treat all remaining graded work as one weighted block. Enter its combined weight and your target to see what you need.

The formula

needed = (target − current × (1 − weight)) ÷ weight, weight as a decimal.

Worked example

At 80% with remaining work worth 30% and a target of 85%: needed = (85 − 80 × 0.70) ÷ 0.30 = 96.7%.

Frequently asked questions

What do I enter for weight?

The combined share of your grade that the remaining work (or exam) counts for, as a percentage.

What if the result is over 100%?

Your target can’t be reached from the remaining work alone — adjust the target or seek extra credit.
