How Weighted Grades Work

Most courses use a weighted grading system where different assignments contribute different amounts to your final grade. For example, homework might be worth 20% of your grade, quizzes 15%, a midterm 25%, and a final exam 40%. Your final grade is calculated by multiplying each category's average by its weight and summing the results.

This calculator handles both simple weighted grades (where each assignment has its own weight) and the "what do I need on my final" calculation. Enter your current grade and final exam weight to see exactly what score you need to achieve your target grade.

How to Use the Final Grade Calculator

Enter your current course grade (before the final), the weight of your final exam as a percentage, and the grade you want to end up with. The calculator will tell you exactly what score you need on your final.

Need a 90+ on Your Final?

If the calculator says you need a high score, don't panic — but don't wing it either. The difference between students who hit their target and students who don't isn't talent. It's preparation.

Thryve turns your entire semester of notes into a study plan you can actually execute: flashcards for every key concept, practice quizzes that mimic exam conditions, and a study guide that covers exactly what you need to review.
