Estimate the exam score needed to reach a target final course grade.
Formula
If the exam is the remaining course weight: required exam score = (target − current grade × completed weight) ÷ remaining weight, with weights expressed as decimals.
Example: With an 82% current grade over 70% of the course, reaching 85% overall requires 92% on the remaining 30% exam.
Scope
This assumes the entered current grade accurately summarizes the completed portion and the exam makes up all remaining weight.
