Frequently asked questions
What is the formula to calculate my final exam score?
Required Grade = (Target Grade - (Current Grade × (100% - Final Weight%))) / Final Weight%.
What if the required score is greater than 100%?
If the required score exceeds 100%, achieving that target grade is impossible without extra credit assignments or curve adjustments from your instructor.
