How it works
The calculator treats your current grade as the portion of the course completed before the final. It solves the weighted-grade equation for the unknown final exam score.
Worked example
With an 84% current grade, a 90% target, and a final worth 35%, you need about 101.1%. That target is impossible without extra credit; a perfect final would produce a maximum course grade of 89.6%.

Common questions
Your target is not reachable under the entered weights unless extra credit is available. GradeKit shows the highest grade you can finish with after scoring 100% on the final.
You have already secured the target grade. A zero on the final would still leave your overall course grade at or above the target.
Aim above the displayed number. GradeKit shows one decimal place, but your instructor may keep more precision or apply a different rounding policy.
