What grade do I need to get an D?
An D usually means around 60% overall. Enter your current grade and the final's weight to see the score you need.
How much is an D?
On the common US scale an D is roughly 60–69%. Set your target to 60% (already filled in) and this calculator shows the final-exam score required.
Formula
needed = (target − current × (1 − weight)) ÷ weight. Example: at 58% with a 50% final, to reach an D (60%): needed = (60 − 58 × 0.50) ÷ 0.50 = 62%.
