# Final Grade Calculator Calculate the score needed on a final exam to reach a desired overall course grade > Canonical page: https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/final-grade-calculator - **Category:** Math & Numbers - **Keywords:** final grade calculator, final exam score, desired grade, exam weight, calculator ## Overview The Final Grade Calculator helps students determine the exact score required on their final exam to achieve a specific target grade for a course. By inputting your current average and the weight of the final exam, you can instantly see the performance needed to reach your academic goals. ## Inputs - **Current Grade (%)** (number) - **Desired Final Grade (%)** (number) - **Final Exam Weight (%)** (number) - **Decimal Places** (number) ## When to use - Before finals week to set realistic study goals and prioritize subjects based on difficulty. - When you need to know if a specific letter grade is still mathematically achievable given your current standing. - After receiving mid-term results to adjust your academic strategy for the remainder of the semester. ## How it works - Enter your current overall percentage grade in the course. - Input your desired final course grade and the percentage weight of the final exam. - Adjust the decimal precision for the result if necessary. - Review the calculated score required on the final exam to meet your target. ## Use cases - Determining the minimum score needed to maintain an 'A' in a high-stakes math class. - Checking if it is possible to pass a course after a poor mid-term performance. - Planning study time by identifying which exams require the highest scores to meet GPA targets. ## Frequently asked questions ### What is final exam weight? It is the percentage of your total course grade that the final exam represents in the syllabus. ### Can I calculate a score over 100%? Yes, the tool supports values up to 200% to account for extra credit opportunities or bonus points. ### What does 'already secured' mean? It indicates that your current grade is high enough that you will reach your goal even with a zero on the final. ### Is the calculation accurate for weighted categories? You must provide your current total average; the tool calculates based on the remaining weight of the final exam. ### What if the required score is impossible? The tool will indicate if the goal is not feasible without extra credit if the required score exceeds 100%. ## Related tools - [Air Changes per Hour (ACH, n = Q/V)](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/air-changes-per-hour): Compute the air change rate (ACH / n) of a room from the outdoor supply airflow Q and the room volume V: n = Q/V (1/h). Three modes: solve ACH (given Q and V), solve airflow (given n and V), or solve volume (given n and Q). Flow in m³/s/m³/h/CFM, volume in m³/ft³/L.

Three modes: solve COP (given Q_c and W), solve cooling capacity (given COP and W), or solve input power (given COP and Q_c).
