FAQ
How is the needed score calculated?
Needed = (wanted − current × (1 − weight)) ÷ weight, with the weight of the final as a fraction. With 85% now, a 90% goal and a 30% final you need 101.7%.
Is anything uploaded?
No. The numbers stay in this tab.
What if the result is over 100%?
The goal is out of reach on the final alone unless there is extra credit. Check the table for the highest letter that is still possible.
What if the result is 0% or less?
You already have the grade you want. Any score on the final keeps it.
What is the current grade?
Your average on everything graded so far, as a percentage, before the final. If your syllabus lists category weights, use the weighted average your gradebook shows.
