You need on the final

Tip: “Final is worth” is the final exam’s percentage of your overall grade (check your syllabus — often 15–30%).

How the final grade is calculated

The formula

Required final = (target − current × (1 − weight)) ÷ weight, where weight is the final’s share of your grade. For example, with an 88% now, a 90% goal, and a final worth 20%: you’d need a 98% on the final.

What if it says over 100%?

The target grade isn’t reachable with this final alone — you’d need extra credit or a curve. Try a slightly lower target to see what’s realistic.

What if it’s negative or zero?

Good news — you’ve already locked in the grade even if you bombed the final. The number shown is the minimum you need to still hit your target.
