Frequently asked questions
How does the formula work?+
Required = (target − current × (1 − w)) ÷ w, where w is the final's weight as a decimal. We just rearrange the weighted-average equation to solve for the unknown final score.
What if the result is over 100%?+
It means your target is mathematically unreachable given your current grade and the final's weight. Lower the target or talk to your professor about extra credit.
Can I model partial credit or curves?+
This free calculator handles standard weighted finals. For curves, extra-credit components, and complete syllabi, sign up to use the full GPA Optimizer.
