Grades & final exam target

Calculate a test percentage, weighted course grade, or required final-exam score.

How this works

Weighted grades sum score × normalized weight. Required final score = [target − current × (1 − final weight)] / final weight.

Example

Using the example inputs, percentage grade is 84%.
