Thanks! According to you, I need a 6% on my final to pass my class. You said don't bother studying. Cool, because I didn't.

Ah, this was great and I kept changing the grades to get your comments. Too bad, I have a perfect 4.0 GPA now and Pre-cal Algebra is my last course, though!

Dude, Thank God for you. I have come to hate the internet cause I can't find anything. You have saved me! Thanks dude(:

@Dani - I always find it to be accurate but if you're worried just check it against another grade calculator: http://studentspreunited.com/page/final-grade-calculator

hi

Is this site accurate? I am skeptical because I am nervous about my math final exam which is worth 40%. I do have a 96% but I still have hw, quizzes, and one test left before the final exam. I want to get a 90% but I more than anything just want to pass! I always bomb finals.

i set fire to my grades

HIIIIII nice calc

lol at hannah, way to let the world know you have a 96, and that you did your calculations on your calculator but found this site rally helpful (golf claps). HAHA what a fucking troll.

You are awesome!! Thank you for creating the blog and explaining math to those of us who are more of a biology person :). I hate math, im glad you don't :P

Hey Roger, thanks SO much for making this website!! I can tell you are intelligent. This is really helpful, although I did calculate what I need on my calculator. Lol. Just googled this to procrastinate studying for online health over the summer :P Thanks again, it really helped. Oh and I have a 96% in the class, so I am fiiine. :)

Thank you for clearing that up.

I'm still confused. If 20% was removed from my mark and then I got 100% on the exam, wouldnt the 100% be equivilent to the 20% lost, cancelling all the changesÉ
The É should be a question mark, my keyboard is being stupid, just like I assume I am being.

Roger says: Hello again. Actually, 20% is not removed from your mark. If that were true, it would be impossible to have any higher than a 80% in any class with a 20% final. The final category is just ignored for the majority of the year because there is nothing in it.

I think I've noticed a problem with the calculations.
This program successfully removes the percentage, but doesn't add the exam mark correctly.Instead of adding the exam mark as a percentage, it adds it as an integer, completely changing the total mark.
Example: I got 54% for my final grade, and my exam was worth 20%, and I wanted 50%.
The program takes 20% from 54, leaving me with 43.2%, just like it should.Then it should add 80% of the 20%, which would be 16%. The problem occurs when the program adds the new percentage. Instead of adding 16% to arrive at 50.112%, it adds 16 and arrives at 59.2, completely incorrect. With this logic getting 100% on the test would earn me 63.2%, which doesn't make any sense. If I got 100% on the exam, I would have gotten 54% in total.

Roger says: Thank you for trying to understand the calculations rather than simply taking them at face value. It is important to be skeptical and questioning.

Your conclusion is wrong. If you get a 100% on your final, you should indeed get a 63.2% on your overall score. Simply do this calcuation: 0.8*0.54 + 0.2*1.00. The result is 63.2%. If you reason it out, getting a 100% on a final worth 20% (which is one-fifth, quite a lot) should improve your grade significantly if it was originally as low as a 54%. An increase of 9% is very reasonable, and perfectly accurate. Let me know if you have any more concerns.

thank you so much! this is awesome xD now i know i dont have to study! :p

the one thing kinds never want to go through..
SUMMER SCHOOL :(

Thank you so muchhhhhhhh your the best i was freaking out i swear to god ur the besttttttttttt love u

Your calculations are wrong.
I tested with saying I was on 40% and needed to get 50% to pass the course. And that the final exam was worth 50%. The response was that I needed 60% in my course to pass. Which is wrong, I would only need 20%. You should fix up your calculations

—–

No wonder you got 40%.

damn man 41 in math gotta get a 86 to get a 50 fml dude

i love this thing it makes every thing much better :))) i dont care what other people think about i find this web page helpfull ;) evan though it can be a bit of a shock O.o haha still good luck to you all on your exam and i hope everyonr passes :DD

got an 89% oh my progress report. All I need is a B- or above. Only need a 44% on the final to get an 80%. No need to study. WOOT!

i have no idea that if i have a 73% in this class and in order to get an overall grade of 50% i need to to get 80.3%...... definitively not correct

-----
Roger says: It’s actually a negative 80.3%. Try reading it again, more carefully.

Roger says: That’s actually correct. A 50% weight means an average between two numbers, and a 40% and a 60% average to a 50%. Check your math again.

apparently i can totally bomb and still pass with a pretty good grade. it even told me not to bother studying lol. well i guess i can go back to playing on the computer and slacking off.

Does this thing work? I'm confused...
Lol... I only need -12 percent to pass my math class.... :) I really hope this works. My teacher hasn't entered the grade in yet for my final... I'm pretty sure I did badly, but I have a 68 percent in math right now. So yeps. I'm happy. Just hoping this calculator works so I don't end up crying about how I failed.

This is a very useful app, frankly i kinda of like your sassy coments, weather people want to admit they're screwed or not its there own darn fault for not working harder through the year. come one guys he's just tellin' it like it is.

im screwed.. :\

i am very very scared for my finals...i think i need mental help to survive through this.....ps. this website is very effective and useful towards my studies

Thank you roger i can't fail any classes no matter what

LOL who else is screwed?

Hi, I have a quick question.
I have a 75% in my science class, and my exam is next week. It's worth 30% of my overall grade, and I was wondering what percentage I would need on my exam in order to pass...

Thanks so much :)

I have an E in algebra and I got a C on the final but it says that i still have an E in the class. But on here it says i need a 63% or higher to get a 60%, but then shouldn't the grade be a 66% if I got a C.

I'M SOOOOOO CONFUSED!!!!!!!!

This is probably the best website ever. It stopped me from freaking out. Thanks!

Some of these comments make me lose faith in humanity.

um i have an 87 in my class and i want a 90 it say i have to get a 147% on my test EVEN THOUGH ITS NOT POSSIBLE is it correct? so im not getting straight a's?

Hi, i havr and 63.9 in science..and we have a final written worth 10% of your overall mark.and a provincal worth 20% of my mark..do u think ill pass..even if a fail both.?

This website is great! Thanks for the though. Quick question though; I have a 74% average in this one class. My school takes over average from throughout the year, and makes it now worth 70% of what in the end will be my total mark. The other 30% is divide, 10% an assignment and the other 20 my exam. I missed my exam today and now have an ugly zero for 20%. However assuming i get at least a a 70% on the assignment worth 10%, id like to know am i going to pass in the end?

-----
Roger says: (.74 * .7) + (.7 * .1) = 0.588 so you have a 58.8% right now.

yes woooooooooooooooooooo i passed all my classes woooooooooo thx i am not gonna study now

Thank you so much! I looked everywhere for such a calculator and here it is!

I love this website. At the very least it's saved me from thinking I'm going to fail :D
I have an 88 in this class and I want to make sure I wont fail; I want to at least keep an 88. I think I can manage an 88 on the test :P

thanks you sooo much! this was such a brilliant idea!! you just saved me from so much stress for waiting to recieve my grade back :) once again thanks and you're a genius
