97.50%
You need to average 97.50% across the remaining 40% of the course to finish at 90%.
- 1Enter your current grade as a percent.
- 2Enter what percent of the total course that grade covers so far.
- 3Enter your target final grade.
- 4Read the score needed on the remaining weight.
The remaining 40% must supply 90 - (0.6 x 85) = 39 points, so the required score is 39 / 0.4 = 97.5%. Demanding but possible. Target 95% instead and the requirement is 110%, which the tool flags as unreachable from this position.
- The calculation assumes the remaining weight is scored as a single average; if it splits into several items, the requirement applies to their weighted average.
- Some courses grade on curves or drop the lowest score; those policies change the real requirement and are not modeled.
- A required score slightly above your past average is a plan; far above it is a signal to aim at the next target down.
Required = (target - completed weight x current grade) / remaining weight, with weights as fractions. It is just the weighted-average equation solved for the unknown part.
About this tool
The Grade Calculator answers the end-of-term question: given your current grade, how much of the course it covers, and the final grade you want, what score do you need on the remaining work, usually the final exam? It also tells you honestly when a target is already secured or no longer reachable.
