What you need on the final

Required final = (Target − Current × (1 − Weight)) ÷ Weight, where weight is the final's share of the grade as a decimal. The calculator runs the algebra and tells you the exact score you need.

When the target is out of reach

If the required score tops 100%, your target isn't reachable with the final alone — you'd need extra credit or a different goal. The tool flags this so you can plan realistically.

Plan your study time

Knowing the precise score you need tells you how hard to push. Pair it with a focused study schedule to spend your energy where it counts.
