How to Calculate Final Grade?

Firstly, Let's have a closer look at the formula to determine the final grade.

Formula:

  F =  
( R - ( 1 - W ) × C )
W

Where,

F = Final Exam Grade
R = Required Grade that you want for a class
W = Final Exam Weight
C = Current Grade

However, it seems to be a simple calculation and but it's time-consuming. Whereas the Final Grade Calculator will give you the same answer in less than a second.

Let's understand the working of the formula with example.

Example:

Jerry studies in school, his current score in Physics is 77%. He is dissatisfied with his current score and aims to score at least 85%. The final exam weightage in his school is 45%. Find out the grade (%) Jerry needs to score to achieve his target.

Solution:

Here,
Current Grade (C) = 77%
Required Grade (R) = 85%
Final Exam Weight (W) = 45% = (Convert into decimal: 45 / 100 = 0.45)

Note: Make sure that the final exam weight(W) must be in decimal form. For that, you can divide the percent value by 100 and convert it into a decimal.

Now, apply all the values to the formula to find the final exam grade.

  F =  
(R - (1 - W) × C)
W
  F =  
(85 - (1 - 0.45) × 77)
0.45
  F =  
(85 - (0.55 × 77))
0.45
  F =  
(85 - 42.35)
0.45
  F =  
42.65
0.45
Final Grade = 94.78%

So, Jerry requires to score 94.78% in the final exam to achieve his target of 85%.

As you can see above, the mathematical calculation can be time taking and a little bit confusing. Hence, we built the easy-to-use final grade calculator for your convenience. Keep it handy or bookmark it for future use.

Also, you can easily switch between grade types. Here, you can enter the grades in Percentage or Letter. Just select the type you want. Enter the correct values in their respective input boxes and click on the Calculate button to start the process.

While giving the values, make sure that the sum of weights must be equal to the total weights.

It means,

Grade Weight + Final Exam Weight = Total Weights
