Enter the grade you have so far, how much the final exam or assignment is worth, and the overall grade you are aiming for. The calculator tells you the exact mark you need. A table below shows what you would need for each Australian grade band and each US letter grade.
The formula is needed = (target − current × (1 − weight)) ÷ weight, where weight is the final’s share of the course as a decimal. "Current grade" should be your average on everything else, as a percentage. Check your course outline for the exact weights and cut-offs.
Subtract the part of your target already earned from the target, then divide by the weight of the final. This tool does that instantly.
Commonly Pass 50–64, Credit 65–74, Distinction 75–84 and High Distinction 85–100, but universities differ, so check yours.
It means the target is out of reach with the final alone. The tool shows the best overall grade you could still reach.
