What-If GPA Simulator: Plan Every Scenario Before Exams

The Power of "What If?" in Grade Planning

Exam season is stressful. What if you could see the future? A what-if simulator lets you play out every scenario: "If I ace the final, I get a B+. If I barely pass, I drop to a C." Knowing this before the exam changes how you study.

How GradeCompass.ai's GPA Optimizer Works

GradeCompass.ai takes scenario planning to the next level:

  1. Your real grades are pre-loaded — every completed assignment is already in the system
  2. Slide ungraded assignments — drag a slider from 0% to 100% and watch your projected GPA update instantly
  3. Ask AI for the target — "What do I need on my remaining assignments to finish with a 3.5?" and get a specific, personalised answer

Common Scenarios Students Simulate

  • "What if I skip this 5% assignment and focus on the 30% paper?"
  • "What's the minimum I need on the final to keep my A-?"
  • "If I get 70% on both remaining exams, what's my semester GPA?"
  • "What GPA do I need this semester to raise my cumulative to 3.0?"

Each of these takes seconds in GradeCompass.ai — no manual math required.
