Required final exam grade
Find the final-exam percentage needed to reach a target overall grade.
A clear answer. Here’s how.
Overall grade = current average × (1−final weight) + final grade × final weight. Solves for the required final grade. A result above 100% is unreachable within the 0–100 grading model; a result at or below zero is already secured by the entered non-final contribution.
