The formula behind it
Your overall grade is a weighted combination of everything before the final and the final itself: overall = current × (1 − w) + final × w, where w is the final’s weight. Solving for the final score gives: needed = (desired − current × (1 − w)) ÷ w. The heavier the final, the more it can move your grade in either direction — a 50% final can rescue almost any semester, and also sink one.
If you are not sure of your current standing, calculate it first with the grade calculator from your assignment scores and weights. And once grades are in, the GPA calculator shows what the semester does to your GPA.
