How does a grade what-if calculator work?

Enter your current grade, how much the next assignment or test is worth (as a percentage of your overall grade), and the score you expect on it. We combine them to show what your overall grade would become — so you can see the impact before it happens.

How do I know an assignment’s weight?

Check your syllabus or ask your teacher — grades are usually split into categories (tests 40%, homework 20%, and so on). The weight is roughly how much of your final grade that one item represents. Use your best estimate if you’re not sure.

What if I want to know the score I need for a target grade?

That’s the reverse question — try our final grade calculator, which tells you the score you need on a final to reach a target overall grade.
