Roger, some of your comments are unencouraging and make you look like a total A-hole.

I have a 73.39 in Calc AB right now. Each regular test is 70% of our grade. My test average is a 65% In order for me to boost my grade up to a B, what do I need to get on my next regular test in order for my grade to raise to a B? So, what formula is there in order for me to see what I need on my next test to get a certain letter grade?

Roger: See my reply below.

Roger: So, I think you meant to say your regular tests were worth 70% altogether, but you said they were worth 70% each (which means you can’t have more than one, or it would be greater than 100%). To figure out what you need on your next regular test, you need to find out 1) if you have any empty categories in your grade, like a Final Exam category, 2) your current test average, 3) the number of tests you’ve taken so far. If you can answer these questions (or at least the first one), I can give you a formula to use.

Hi Roger. Just wanted to say your website has been super useful to me throughout my college career. I read your bio today, and you're so accomplished! My parents went to Berkeley & my dad does things similar to what you do. Sooo. Yay you for being cool & smart. :)

Roger: Haha, cool! Thanks!

Hai Roger::::plz help me my final exam is 300 marks how many point do I need to get 40% all my subjects? Plz help me tnx

Roger: Can you provide more information?

Hi roger i have a class that the highest grade is a 98.5% and i have somewhere around a 94% and grades are entered weekly. There will be 11 more grades entered in so how many weeks will it take to raise my grade to 98.5% if i get a 98.5% on all of the weeks

Roger: If you current have a 94% and you keep getting an 98.5% average, it would take an infinite number of weeks to raise your grade to a 98.5% (it would never actually get there, but it would become 98.499999...). In order to get a 98.5% reasonably quickly, you need to get higher than a 98.5% (e.g. ~100%).

Does an 89.5 round up to a 90?

Roger: Sure, if you round to the nearest whole number.

Hi Roger so i have a 72.3 in my geometry class what do i have to get if it is 40% of grade

Roger: It depends on what you want your overall grade to be.

I am trying to get a C in my class overall. I have a 62% so far. I have a project worth 5% and the final is worth 25%. Assuming i get 100, an A, on the project, what would i have to get on the final to get a C.?

Roger: I’ll assume a C is a 70%. Your current grade is a 64.5%, and you will need to get at least a 86.4% on your final to get a 70% overall.

Hey! I have a 69 in all my classes. Please help?

Finals count as 69% of my grade.

I have a 69 in every other category.

Thanks.

- wow

So at midterm I had a 79% and I got 0% on my summative worth 10% of my grade. What do I have to get on my exam (worth 20%) to get my grade 65

Roger: Assuming that there are no more components to your grade, you will need at least a 48.5% on your 20% exam to get a 65% overall. (Your current grade is a 69.1%.)

Hi Roger, i was hoping you could answer this for me, very important. I have a 64.5% in my Algebra 2 class. My district (sweetwater school district) has expelled D's. So they are only As Bs Cs and Fs. No more Ds. An A is 83%-100%, B is 73%-82%, and C is 62%-72%, and F is 61% and below. My final is 60% of my grade and I at lwast want to get a B-, say a 75%. Because of the difference in the grading system now, how much should i get in my final, in percentage? Thank you!

Roger: The grading system doesn’t affect how you use the calculator. Just tell the calculator that you want a 75% overall. I don’t think your final is actually worth 60% of your grade. Did you mean that your Tests category is worth 60% of your grade? It makes a big difference. If I assume that your final is actually 60%, then you will need at least a 82% on the final exam to get a 75% overall.

i like his humor... "i got like a 16% and i gotta get a 70% to pass so i put in all my things and it said u'd beter hope der's extra credit! i'm just all like miswell not go to school!

Hey Roger. In my Algebra II class I have an 104% and to get a 96% in my class, with the final being worth 10% of my grade, I will have to get at least a 24%. Woohoo!

Roger: Woohoo!

I have a current grade of 81.12%. I had to miss a test, so my Final exam grade will go in as that test score as well. My current exam average is 79.62 and is worth 65% of my grade, my quiz average is a 77.8 and is worth 10% of my grade, and my final exam will be worth 25% of my grade. What do i need on my final in order for it to also be added to my exam average and end up with a final grade of at least a 77 % in the class?

Roger: It depends on your current exam average and how many tests you’ve taken so far. Can you provide those?

Hey yo Roger,

Roger: You will need at least a 90% on your final to get a 70% overall.

Hi! I have a 65% but a 70% is a pass. I was just wondering what i would need to get on my exam that is worth 25%?

Roger: You will need at least a 85% on your final exam to get a 70% overall.

I want to thank you so much for this! You helped me save my grades since freshman year.

Roger: You’re welcome!

Ive been using this site for the last 3 years of my life and I just want to say thank you.

Roger: You’re welcome!

Hello Roger!

I need to know what I should get on my final exam to achieve 77% or 80% in my final course grade.

Here is how our grading works.

2 Midterms (Each worth 15%)= total of 30%
Quizzes (Total worth 15%)
Homework (Worth 5%)
Final (Worth 50%)

What I have:

Midterm 1: got 35%
Midterm 2: got 63.50%

Quizzes (So far): 84.8%
Homework (So far): 96%
Final exam: ..Still need to do it..

Roger: Your current grade is a 64.6%. To get a 77% overall, you’ll need at least a 89.4% on your final exam. To get a 80% overall, you’ll need at least a 95.4% on your final exam.

nice

I have a 65 .the passing grade is 70.what do i need to get on the next test to pass? The test is worth 25%

Roger: Assuming that there are no other grades after your test, you will need at least a 85% on the test to get a 70% overall.

Very useful tools. However, the comments are a little rude with the results. Some people struggle with their Math and could be offended.

hai
I have riched 39%on my june life science exam,49% on march and 50% on september so I would to know what marks i'll need in my final exam to get 40% for the final mark(NSC)

Roger: Assuming all of your exams are all the same, you’ll need at least a 22% on the final exam to get a 40% overall.

Hey!

so our tests are worth 65%... my average of those is 82
an ATI examination factors in as 10%.. i got a 90 on that
and the final is worth 30%

What do I need to get on my final in order to get an 83 overall?

Thanks!!

Roger: Your numbers add up to 105%, which is more than 100%. Is that right?

I have a 62% in my class so far. I have a prject worth 5% and the final is worth 25%. Assuming i get 100% on the project, what would i have to get on the final?

Roger: What grade are you trying to get overall?

Sorry that you can't say that you where wrong

I hope that no one every goes here again because it is a horrible website that does not work

this is sooo so so so so useful and great, thanks so much!

Roger: You’re welcome!

Hi Roger,
My AP History grade is split in to three categories: classwork (50%), multiple choice final (25%), and free response final (25%).
In classwork, I have a 84.38%. There will be a couple of other small assignments, but I imagine my grade will probably stay at this number.

There are two multiple choice finals (one each quarter). One is worth 29 points. I scored a 23/29 on the first one. I have one more to take that will be worth 30 points (but I can score up to a 36/30).

There are two free response finals (one each quarter). One is worth 30 points. I scored a 21/30 on the first one. I have one more to take that will be worth 30 points (but I can sore up to a 36/30)

What do I need on each of the second quarter finals to achieve an 87.5 in the class? What do I need on them to achieve a 90 in the class?

Roger: To get a 87.5% overall, you’ll need to score at least a 106.4% (31.9/30) on the two remaining finals. To get a 90% overall, you’ll need to score at least a 116.3% (34.9/30) on the two remaining finals.

hi Roger, I have an 89.3% in my class right now and exams are worth 45% of our grade. We have two exams this trimester and I already got an 85% on one of them. Homework is worth 10% of our grade (assuming I get 22/22 on the homework). Class work is worth 5% of our grade and if I assume I get 50/50 on the class work too, what will I need to get on the 2nd exam to get a 90 in the class?

Roger: Your numbers only add up to 60%. What is the other 40% of your grade?

hey my student has a 140% boom!!!!

whats the equation for a final that replaces your lowest test grade. Thanks

Roger: This formula is a little complicated! Check out this paper for a description and explanation of the formula.

Hello, I want to know what I need to get on my THIRD quiz for an 80% in the class OR an 85%.

Here is how our grading is.

3 quizzes (worth 15% each) so 45% in total
Lab (worth 40%)
Participation ( worth 2.5%)
Class activities ( worth 12.5%)

I achieved:
Quiz 1: 67%
Quiz 2: 75%
Quiz 3: (Haven't done it)

Lab: (So far) 94%

Participation: 75%

Class activities (so far): 81%

Roger: You will need at least a 60.7% on your third quiz to get a 80% overall. You will need at least a 94% on your third quiz to get a 85% overall. (Your current grade is a 83.4%.)

This a awsome and very useful sight. Id give a 10.

Roger: Thanks!

So if I'm in a points based class that I currently have an 86.5% in, and I have about 8 weeks left until my semester report card, how hard should I work? We have anywhere from 4 to 7 tests left (all ranging from 60-120 points) as well as the final for the semester just before the end of the semester. Will I be able to get an A?

Roger: How much is your final exam worth? And how many points do you have in the class overall? You should be aiming to get a 95%+ (rough estimate) on all your remaining coursework, if you want to get at least a 90% overall.

@becca not sure if u'll see this but u need approx a 63 or higher to pass with a 75%

Hi! I'm sitting with a 72% in the class with 2 more discussion boards to do and each is 5%. My prof has said we just need to get a pass overall(term work plus exam mark). Since the exam is worth 30% it can make a big difference on my final grade. What would I need on the exam to get a pass(55%)? Or a 60%?

Roger: You will need to get at least a 29.5% on the final exam to pass (55%). You will need to get at least a 42% on the final exam to get a 60% overall.

my grade is unweighted. If i have an 88.68% and i want a 90%, what would i have to get on my final?

Roger: It depends on how much your final is worth.

Hi Roger. I love this site. Amazing culler schemes.

Hello Roger. I have a confusing situation in AP Calc BC, I hope that you can help me.
Our grade breaks down as such:
10% homework (I have obtained 9.91% of the homework category points)
65% tests (I have obtained 57.73% of the test category points, which is 500)
25% final.
Here is where it gets tricky. We have the option to have our final replace our lowest test score. My lowest test score is a 76/100. We have taken 5 tests (each 100 pts) and I currently have a 90 overall (my teacher cuts off the decimal), and an 88 is an A. What would I need to get on the final exam that would replace the 76% and also let me keep an 88?

I hope that wasn't too confusing, thank you!!

Tyrone.

Roger: You’ll need to get at least a 79.5% on your final exam to get a 88% (A) overall. That’s not much higher than your current overall test score! If you get a 84.8% on the final exam, your overall grade will be a 90%. If you get a 90.1% on the final exam, your overall grade will be a 92%.

I have semesters, and my required classes are 2 semesters long. At the end of a semester I got a grade, meaning I have two grades and they are each 40%. the final is worth only 20%. I totally failed in French (59.45%) and I want to know what I need to make in my second semester so I get at least a 70%.

Roger: You’ll need to average at least a 77.03% on your second semester to get a 70% overall.

I have had 2 assignments and 1 short quiz. My assignments were worth .6% each and I got 100 on both. I got an 80 on the quiz worth 1% of my grade. I had an 88.5. How much will my grade change?

Roger: Your overall grade is a 94.77%.

Exams are worth 70% . The exams consist of 4 test and 1 final. Also 30 % of my grade is homework, quizzes and workshop.
My exam grade is an average 62% but I have only taken 3 test. I still have one test and a final.
The 30 % of my garde average out to 95%. What do i need on my last test and final to make at least a 70 or 75 in the class.

Roger: Well, your current grade looks like it’s a 71.9%. I’ll assume all your tests and finals are worth the same amount. To get at least a 70% overall, you will need to average at least a 55.2% on your last test and final. To get at least a 75% overall, you will need to average at least a 73.1% on your last test and final.

Hello Roger,

I need a 75% test average on our exams to pass and we have 5 total exams. My current grades are as follows:

#1: 93.33%
#2: 63.33%
#3: 83.93%
#4: 78.08%

Can you please tell me that I need on the final (test #5) to pass with the 75%, and what I need to get an 80%?

Thank you,
Becca

Roger: You’ll need at least a 56.33% on the final to get a 75% test average. You’ll need at least a 81.33% on the final to get a 80% test average.

In my A&P class we have four exam grades and a homework grade. My overall grade is an 84% right now. I would like to get at least a 90% in the class. Is this possible with only one exam left? (Each exam is 100 pts. and the homework is 100 pts. as well.)

Roger: I assume that your 84% includes three tests and your homework grade. If so, you will need at least a 114% on the last test to get a 90% overall.

I have 4 tests that total 90% of my grade, I've taken three of them and currently have a 58% for my test grade, what do I need to get on my last test to get at least a 75 in the class?

Roger: It depends on what the last 10% of your grade. What is your average in that non-Test category? (I can tell you that you need at least a 126% on your last test to bring your test average up to a 75%.)

This does not work I have taken my final and I did the •Already took the final. What is my overall grade? and it was wrong

Roger: The calculator is correct. You might have misunderstood how your grade was calculated, or your instructor might have added in other assignments after you last checked your grade. If you’re interested, you can review the formulae that drive this calculator and verify them yourself.

Hello,
This is psychology class. We have 3 observation papers that is worth 30% of the grade. and we have 3 test that is worth 70% of the grade. she gave me 0 first observation and 50 second. THe first test i got an 80. What grades do i have to get on the last observation paper and the last 2 test to pass with at least a 70?

Roger: You’ll need to average at least a 81.8% on the remaining observation paper and 2 tests to get a 70% overall.

If I have a 79 for the semester, what do I need to make the 3rd 6 weeks to get at least a 85 so I can be exempt from my exams?

Roger: Approximately 97%, assuming each of the 6-week periods are equal in weight.

If I got a 94 on my first test and I 78 on my second test and tests are worth 65% of my grade. And I have 100 on homework which is worth 30 percent of my grade and a 95 on mini quizzes which are worth 5%, what is my final grade?

Roger: Your final grade is a 90.65%.
