Frequently Asked Questions
Switch to "Required Score" mode and enter your current grade, the final exam's weight, and your target overall grade — it solves backwards for the exact score you'd need.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Check your syllabus for the actual exam weight. "Final Grade" and "Required Score" mode both depend entirely on how much the final counts — a wrong weight throws off the whole result.
- A required score above 100% means the target isn't reachable. That's not a bug — it means even a perfect final exam score wouldn't get you to that target grade, given your current grade and the exam's weight.
