Frequently asked questions
My required score is over 100 — now what?
The target isn't reachable from the final alone. Ask about extra credit, or recalculate for the best grade that is reachable.
Where do I find the final's weight?
The course syllabus — look for the grading breakdown (e.g. "Final exam: 30%").
Does this handle a cumulative final replacing other grades?
No — it models a standard weighted final. Replacement policies need their own arithmetic.
What if I don't know my current grade?
Add each assignment with its score and weight, and the calculator will figure out your current weighted average automatically.
Can I include extra credit?
Yes — enter extra-credit assignments as additional rows. They will be included in the weighted total.
What if extra credit pushes my grade above 100%?
The calculator will show a grade above 100% if your weighted total exceeds the maximum. Whether an instructor caps it at 100 depends on their grading policy.
