Frequently Asked Questions
How is the needed final grade calculated?
It solves the weighted average equation using current grade, final weight, and target grade.
What if the required score is over 100 percent?
The target may not be reachable from the current grade and final weight alone.
What if the required score is negative?
You may already have enough points for the target even with a very low final score.
Does this include extra credit?
Only if extra credit is already included in your current grade or reflected in your inputs.
Can grading policies change the result?
Yes. Rounding, minimum final requirements, dropped assignments, and category weights can affect official grades.
