You took the final. Now, what's your grade? Calculate your ending course percentage instantly.
It's May. The air is warm, the seniors are checking out, and you are staring at a 89.4% in Pre-Calc. Do you need a 92% on the final to keep your A, or will a 100% still leave you at a B+? Our Final Grade Calculator answers the terrifying question: "What is the bare minimum I can get on the final exam without ruining my GPA?" It takes your current grade, the weight of the final exam, and your desired outcome to calculate the exact percentage needed.
A final exam is rarely just another test.
Teachers are human. Computers are not.
Before you run this calculator, check for missing assignments. A 20-point homework assignment entered as a "0" is devastating. Turning that in for 50% credit might lower the score you need on the final by 5 full points.
If you need a 108% in Chem to get an A, stop studying Chem. You already have the B. Shift those hours to English where you need an 88% to keep your A-. Protect the grades that are saveable; abandon the lost causes.
If you calculate that you will finish with an 89.4%, go to office hours before the final. Show the teacher you care. Ask "What specific concepts should I focus on?" Sometimes, this effort tilts the 89.4 to a 90 later.
Check your syllabus. It is legally required to be listed there. Look for "Grading Policy" or "Assessment Breakdown." If it says "Total Points" instead of percentages, use our GPA Calculator instead.
Only if your teacher offers bonus questions on the final. If the calculator says you need a 102%, you are statistically locked out of the next grade tier unless there is extra credit.
No. One C is a blip. A pattern of Cs is a trend. Colleges look at the trend. If you got a C because you were sick or had a family emergency, use the "Additional Information" section on the Common App to explain it.
This calculator finds the percentage (e.g., 92%). A "Weighted GPA" adds points for Honors/AP classes (e.g., a B in AP Bio is a 4.0, but a B in regular Bio is a 3.0). Use the Weighted GPA Calculator for that.
In some schools, failing the final means failing the class, regardless of your average. This is called a "failing condition." Check your student handbook.
