Examples include when:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You near the cutoff grade, and wish to calculate if you can still obtain that grade<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You have a final that counts for a large portion of your overall grade, and would like to determine how much time you will probably need to study for it<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You want to understand whether you could aim for a lower score on the final exam, and still pass the course.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-calculate-your-final-grade-in-3-steps\">How to Calculate Your Final Grade in 3 Steps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You provide three numbers to calculator:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your <strong>current course grade<\/strong> prior to receiving your final exam<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <strong>final course grade<\/strong> that you would like to earn<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <strong>final exam&#8217;s percentage<\/strong> contribution toward your overall grade<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The calculator performs its calculations and provides you with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The overall course grade you wanted to achieve<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The total number of grade points that your current grade covers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The amount of grade points that you still need to earn<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What your final score should be on your final exam<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The grading system of this tool is based entirely on percentages.
