How the Calculation Works
Grade calculation uses weighted averages. Your current grade is calculated by multiplying each assignment score by its weight, summing these values, and dividing by the total weight of completed assignments. To find the score needed on your final exam: (Desired Grade × 100%) - (Current Grade × Current Weight) = Score Needed × Final Exam Weight. This formula accounts for the proportional contribution of each component to your final grade.
Example Scenarios
Current grade: 85%, Final exam worth 30%, Want 90% final → Need 101.7% on final (may be impossible)
Current grade: 78%, Final exam worth 25%, Want 80% final → Need 86% on final
Current grade: 92%, Final exam worth 20%, Want 90% final → Need 66% on final (easier target)

- Score Needed: The grade required on remaining assignments to achieve your goal
- Feasibility: Whether achieving your goal is possible (score must be ≤100%)
