Grade & Final Exam Calculator

Near the end of a term two questions matter: where do I stand right now, and what do I need on the final? This tool answers both. In the “Weighted grade” tab you list your assessments, each with its mark and its weight, and it shows your weighted average, how much of the course is already graded, how many points you have banked and the best grade you can still finish on.

The “Final exam” tab works backwards. Give it your grade now, how much the final is worth and the grade you want, and it tells you the mark you need, rounded up so following it never leaves you a fraction short. Below that is a table with the mark needed for every grade on your scale, so you can see straight away which grades are safe, which are within reach and which are gone. A “try a score” box shows what any exam mark would do to your course grade.

Pick US letter grades, Australian university grades (HD, D, C, P), UK degree classes, or plain percentages. Marks can be typed as 85 or as points like 45/50. It all runs in your browser, and your list is only kept on this device.

1. Choose your grade scale at the top: US letter, Australian uni, UK degree or percentage only.
2. In “Weighted grade”, type each assessment’s name, mark (85 or 45/50) and weight. Use “Add assessment” for more rows and the × to remove one.
3. Read your grade so far, the weight still to come and your best possible finish.
4. Tap “Plan the rest” (or open the “Final exam” tab), check your grade now and the final’s weight, and type the grade you want.
5. Read the mark you need and the table for every grade, try a score in “If I score on the final”, and tap “Copy summary” to save it.

• Weighted average from any number of assessments, with marks as percentages or points such as 45/50.
• Weight graded, weight still to come, points earned and best possible finish, with a bar showing points earned, lost and still in play.
• Mark needed on the final for your target grade, rounded up to one decimal place.
• A table of the mark needed for every grade boundary, marking which are already secured and which are out of reach.
• A “try a score” box to see the course grade any final mark would give you.
• Grade scales: US letters (A+ to F), Australian university (HD, D, C, P, F), UK degree classes (First to Fail) or percentage only.
• One tap carries your current grade and remaining weight from the weighted tab into the final exam tab.
• Your assessment list and chosen scale are remembered in this browser for next time, and both tabs have copy buttons.

• Check your course outline for the exact weights. If they don’t add up to 100%, the tool tells you, which often means a piece of assessment is missing.
• Grade boundaries differ between schools and universities. The scales here are the common ones; if your course uses different cut-offs, use “Percentage only” and type your own target.
• Some courses need a minimum mark on the final exam itself (a hurdle) as well as an overall pass. This calculator can’t know that, so check your course rules.
• If the mark you need is very high, plan for it early: past papers under timed conditions raise exam marks more than rereading notes does.
