Find what grade you need on the final exam to reach a target grade for the course. If you know your current grade and the weight of the final exam, you can calculate the grade you need on the final to reach your target course grade. Final Exam Grade Calculation This calculator uses the formula: F = G − ((1 − w) × C) w Where: F = Final exam grade
To calculate your score in a particular course or class, you need to:

How to calculate weighted grade average?
If you want to calculate your grade in a class that uses the point system, add together the total number of points you have earned for each assignment. Divide that number by the total potential points you could have earned, then multiply the result by 100%.
Multiply each grade by the credits or weight attached to it. If your grades are not weighted, skip this step. Add all of the weighted grades (or just the grades if there is no weighting) together. Divide the sum by the number of grades you added together.
Take the number of points you have earned on every assignment and add them together. Then divide this number by the number of possible points in the entire course. So if, for instance, you have earned 850 points total in a class where there were 1,000 possible points, your grade percentage in that class is 85.
To get your final grade in the class, add up the total number of points you've earned and divide by the total number of points possible. Then multiply the result by 100 to get the final grade expressed as a percentage. See the video on Class Grade Calculation for help!
Calculating the Grade First, calculate the percentage you received on the test by dividing your mark by the total marks. For example, if you scored 18 out of 20, then 18/20 = 90 percent. Secondly, multiply your percentage score on the test by the percentage it is worth of the final grade.
Add the points possible of all selected columns to find the total points. Then, add a student's earned scores for all selected columns. The result is the total earned out of the total points possible. Exempted items are ignored. The result displays according to the Primary and Secondary Display options.
You can create any number of weighted columns, including weighted columns that include other weighted columns. You can create a weighted column that uses the quarters' weighted columns and the final test grade columns to calculate a final grade.
When the columns and categories you select for the weighted column have different point values, Equal weighting converts them to percentages. These percentages are averaged to obtain an equal value for each of the items included in the weighted column. Equal weighting gives each item equal weight when determining the composite grade.
You can select Calculate as Running Total for a weighted column. Columns and categories without grades aren't included in the weighted column's total that displays in the Grade Center.
To find the average of all selected columns, the percentage is calculated to four decimal places. The percentage values for all selected columns are added together. The result is divided by the number of columns included in the calculation. The result displays according to the Primary and Secondary Display options.
Most class grades are made up of several components such as homework assignments, tests, exams, quizzes, class participation, attendance, etc. For example, a class exam might be worth 10% of your grade and you received a 95% on the test. You would enter those values into the form.
To determine what you need to get on your final exam in order to get a 90% in the class, let's do some math using the formula above. First add the weight of all the class assignments together including your final: wtotal = 10% + 10% + 20% + 20% + 20% = 100%.
If you need more than four rows, press the "Add Row" button to add an additional line. You can add as many rows as you need. Once you have finished entering your grades, press the "Calculate" button and the grade you need on the final exam will be displayed.
Our Final Exam Grade Calculator calculates the final exam grade you would need to get a desired overall course grade and would require you to input your current course percentage grade as well as the weight of the final as a percentage.
When inputting your Current Grade and the Weight of the Final, our calculator automatically assumes that your current grade is based is based on weight of your course prior to the final exam and is calculated as 100% minus the inputted weight of the final.
Grade point average (GPA) is a commonly used indicator of an individual's academic achievement in school. It is the average of the grades attained in each course, taking course credit into consideration. Grading systems vary in different countries, or even schools. This calculator accepts letter grades as well as numerical inputs.
While learning is important, taking more courses or activities than a person can handle can be detrimental both to learning, as well as to average GPA. Once all courses have been selected, budgeting and scheduling time for each course can help to put the amount work and time necessary into perspective.
There is no ideal strategy, and how a person approaches learning is highly dependent on learning style, as well as adhering to a study strategy that complements their schedule and desires. The method that maximizes the value of the time spent is likely the most effective for improving learning, and subsequently, GPA.
Though your teachers are the ones who give you your final grades, it's important to know how to calculate them yourself so you know for sure what you have.
Before you learn how to calculate your final grade for a course, it's important to understand the two common systems by which you can calculate your final grade. These are:
Follow these steps to calculate your final grade in a points-based system, and refer to the example:
Calculating your grade in a weighted grading system is slightly different but uses the same mathematical processes. Follow these steps to calculate your weighted grade, and refer to the example:
You can also use a spreadsheet application to calculate your unweighted and weighted grades automatically. To set up a grades spreadsheet, follow these steps:
You can use the calculator above to calculate your weighted grade average. For each assignment, enter the grade you received and the weight of the assignment. If you have more than 10 assignments, use the "Add Row" button to add additional input fields.
First multiple the grade received by the weight of the assignment. Repeat this for each completed assignment.
Here is an example. Let's say you received a 90% on your first assignment and it was worth 10% of the class grade. Then let's assume you took a test and received an 80% on it. The test was worth 20% of your grade.
