Final grade

Final grade = (current grade × pre-exam weight) + (exam score × exam weight).

Worked Example — Final Grade mode

Current grade 82% · Final exam worth 40% · Exam score 90%Final Grade = 85.20%

Current grade 80% · Final exam worth 40% · Target grade 85%Required Score = 92.50%

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.
