Frequently asked questions
What if the needed score is above 100%?
Then it is mathematically impossible to reach your target. The calculator shows the maximum achievable grade given a perfect 100% on the final.
How is the current grade calculated?
It is the weighted average of all completed coursework excluding the final. Use the Weighted Grade Calculator to compute it.
Does this account for extra credit?
Not directly. If extra credit is possible, you could exceed 100% on the final in theory — adjust your target accordingly.
