Calculate your weighted grade average from scores and weights, or find out what score you need on the final exam to reach the grade you want. Works for school, college and university courses.
1. Weighted grade average
2. What do I need on the final exam?
Check your school’s grading policy. Some courses use different rules.
How it works
- Weighted average = the sum of (score times weight) divided by the sum of the weights.
- Needed final score = (target grade minus current grade times the share already graded) divided by the final exam share.
Example
You have 80% so far, the final is worth 40% and you want 85% overall. The coursework is 60% of the grade, so it contributes 48 points. You need 37 more points from a final worth 40, which is a score of 92.5%.
