What this calculator estimates
The Grade Calculator estimates a course grade from scores and their weights. It can help track current performance or test what score may be needed on remaining assignments or exams.
Inputs and units
Enter Current grade (%), Course weight completed (%), Target final course grade (%). Use the units shown. Required fields cannot be blank. Use zero only where that field and the model allow it. Select Calculate after changing the values.
Method and assumptions
Current contribution = current average x completed weight / 100. Required remaining average = (target - current contribution) / remaining weight. If no weight remains, the course is already complete and no required future average exists.
Worked example
An 80 average over 50% of a course requires 100 on the remaining 50% to reach 90. A completed course at 70 cannot reach 90 through nonexistent remaining work.
Limitations
All weights are percentages of the entire course. Extra credit, dropped assignments and category rules are not modeled. A required average above 100 is labeled as needing extra credit; an average at or below zero means the target is already secured.
