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.
