Frequently Asked Questions
To calculate your final grade, you need your current grade, the weight of your final exam (as a percentage), and your final exam score. The calculator will combine these values using a weighted average formula to determine your final grade.
Use the "Calculate Required Score" option and enter your current grade, the final exam weight, and your desired grade (90% for an A). The calculator will show you the minimum score you need on your final exam to achieve your goal.
GPA (Grade Point Average) is calculated by multiplying each course's grade points by its credit hours, summing these products, and dividing by the total number of credit hours. The calculator uses a standard 4.0 scale where A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.0, and F=0.0.
