How it's calculated
Course grade = grade so far × (1 − final's share) + final score × final's share
Score needed = (grade wanted − grade so far × (1 − final's share)) ÷ final's share
Worked examples
78% so far, final worth 25%, want 80%:
(80 − 78 × 0.75) ÷ 0.25 = (80 − 58.5) ÷ 0.25 = 86.0% needed
72% so far, final worth 40%, want 70%:
(70 − 72 × 0.6) ÷ 0.4 = (70 − 43.2) ÷ 0.4 = 67.0% needed
85% so far, final worth 30%, want 90%:
(90 − 85 × 0.7) ÷ 0.3 = (90 − 59.5) ÷ 0.3 = 101.7% needed (not reachable)
Frequently asked questions
What if my grade uses letters?
Use the percentage behind the letter. Your course syllabus says which percentages earn which letters, because each teacher or school sets their own scale.
What if the final is split into parts?
Add up the shares of every part still to come, and treat them as one final. The score you need is then the average you need across those parts.
