Final Grade Calculator
Have another question? Try one of these:
- I took the final. What’s my overall grade?
- My final counts as a test. What do I need to get?
- There are 2+ parts in my final. What do I have to get on them?
- My class has a point system. How much is the final worth?
- My lowest test grade is dropped. What do I need to get?
- I need something else (advanced mode).
How does this work?
Most class grades are made up of several categories: homework, classwork, tests/quizzes, and the final exam. Usually, each category is worth a percentage of your overall grade. But because your final exam isn't scored until the very end, it isn't included when calculating your current overall grade. Instead, all the other categories are scaled up to consume the weight reserved for the final exam. Therefore, you can calculate the minimum grade you need to score on the final exam using the formula:
Required = (Goal − Current × (100% − Final Weight)) / Final Weight
See the formula sheet for an explanation of this formula and other formulas used in this calculator. It's not rocket science, it's just math! You could, of course, do this on any calculator, but you're here on RogerHub because it's cool. (:
I need more help!
Try one of the different calculator modes listed above. The advanced mode handles many different kinds of situations, such as:
- If you have more tests and homework before the final
- When your final counts as a test grade
- Dropping the lowest test grades
- Makeup assignments or test retakes
- Extra credit
- Missing assignments
If none of those options answers your question, feel free to ask your question in the comments section below.

Mr Roger(s)! Wish me luck on my civics quiz! I need to be blessed, this is my hardest course! I’m a big fan of the calculator- have a good one my man!
If the instructor is putting 130 questions on a 100 point exam how do I figure out how many I can miss and still get a 65%? I need at least that to pass entire class
Roger: Well, 65% of 130 is 84.5. Is that what you meant?
Hey Roger can you please do a big favor to me and make a online calculator on how to figure out your projected GPA based on credits you taken previously and the GPA you believe you will get in the current semester.
Thank you,
Roger: Thanks for the suggestion! There’s multiple different ways to calculate GPA, because the definition varies from institution to institution. A calculator could offer options for the most popular methods, but I feel like that makes it too easy to accidentally use the wrong method and end up with an incorrect answer.
Roger, how can I become a straight a student? How do I avoid breath of the wild and pinterest. Please help, this is my last hope of survival.
Roger: I didn’t know people still used pinterest.
Hey , I have a GPA of 86.70 and my final exam is 20% . I wanted to know what grade can I get on my final so I can at least still be with a B in the class ?!
Roger: You’ll need to score at least a 53.2% on your final to get a 80% overall.
IM GONNA FAIL MY SUMMER CLASS 😭
Not very cash money of me 😔
good luck in the next school year everyone :)
Final and midterm combined are worth 50% of total grade. Got 15/50 on midterm and current average in the class 92%. What do I need to get on final to pass the class with (70-76)
Roger: Does that mean your midterm is currently worth 50% of your grade by itself? Also, try out the calculator mode labeled “I need something else”. It should be able to answer your question.
ughghh
HEyEYyYYYYyyy
more than half of the questions yall are putting in the comments section could be answered if you just look around before asking for help. It's not even hard to find! Almost as if ur scrolling past the whole damn list to get to the comments.
My course has 2 components: Theory and Math. Theory is worth 85% and I need a 50 in this component to pass. Math is worth 15% and I need a 70 in this component to pass. My grades are thus:
Theory 1 - 14.42/20 = 72.09%
Theory 2 - 18.4/20 = 92%
Theory 3 - 13.6/20 = 68%
Theory test 4 is worth 25% - Yet to be written
Math 1 - 3.5/5 = 70%
Math 2 - 4.5/5 = 90
Math 3 is worth 5% and has yet to be written
My questions are this: What do I need to get on the theory component to pass with the 50% needed?
What do I need to get on the math component to pass with the 70% needed ?
If I wished to pass with an overall grade of 80% what would I need to get on each component to do so? (not as important just curious)
Roger: You’ll need to score at least −15.68% (yes, that’s negative) on your 4th theory test to get a 50% in your theory component. You’ll need to score at least a 50% on your 3rd “math” to get a 70% in your math component. To get a 70% overall, you’ll need to average at least a 51.9% on your 4th theory test and your 3rd “math”.
Hi! I have 4 categories plus extra credit.
Exams grades= 94.07% & worth 40%
Quizzes grades= 96.24% & worth 20%
Attendance grade= 90% & worth 15%
I haven't taken my final yet but it's worth 25%
And I have 25 extra credit points, but will add 2.5% to my overall grade.
What do I need on my final to get a 90% overall? Thank you!
Roger: Your current overall grade should be a 96.3%. You’ll need to score at least a 68.5% on your final to get a 90% overall.
Was sitting at 64%. Took a quiz worth 15% got 90% on that quiz, what is my current grade at. Then, my final is worth 40% and I need a minimum of 70%. What do I need to pass?
The quiz itself was worth 15%
Roger: Assuming that your quiz and final are the only two remaining things that will go into your grade, your current overall grade should be a 70.5%. You’ll need to score at least a 69.25% on your final to get a 70% overall.
hi! I have a 53 in my calculus class, my final is worth 40% of my grade and ive already taken 4 exams also worth 40%. I need atleast a D, (60%), to receive credit for the course. my professor will replace my lowest test grade with the grade i receive on my final if its higher. What do i need to make on my final to get at least a 60% in the class?
Roger: It depends on what your lowest test grade was. Try out the calculator mode labeled “I need something else”. It should be able to answer your question.
Was sitting at 64%. Took a quiz worth 15% got 90% on that quiz, what is my current grade at. Then, my final is worth 40% and I need a minimum of 70%. What do I need to pass?
Roger: Is your quiz worth 15% of your grade by itself? Or is it part of a “quizzes” category, which is altogether worth 15% of your grade?
in at 75% in math and the final is worth 20% what if i get 10% on the final
Roger: Then your overall grade should drop to a 62%.
My test grades are 74,79, and 70 and they are worth 65%. I got 6.5% on my homework.
How much do I need to get on the final (worth 25%) to get a C and/or a B?
Roger: I assume you meant that your homework grade is 6.5/10, which is 65% not 6.5%. In that case, you’ll need to score at least a 65.8% on your final to get a 70% overall. If you want an 80% overall instead, you’ll need to score at least a 105.8% on your final.
So in a math course I'm thinking of taking it is a combined 1200 points. Test/quizzes are 240, Midterm is 480 and the Final is 480. I need a combined average of 60% on the midterm and final. What is the lowest score I get to meet the 60% average?
Thanks!
Roger: Well, 60% of 480 is 288. So, I suppose you’ll need to get 576 out of 960 points (or 288 out of 480 on each)?
So I currently have 94.97% in my Law Enforcement Operations class and I received 88.9% on my final paper. I was just wondering what the last assignment would drop my overall course grade to. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Roger: How much is your final paper worth?
idk half the shiz in the course can't wait to fail,, i need a 71% to pass with a 90 buT idk if i can even get that :))))
wish me luck, comrades
i deal w/ stress by just giving myself time to relax.
read a book, watch some pirated movies, help yourself to some snacks, etc.
anything to get your mind off the topic that causing you stress.
sometimes i have a good stress-cry and when i calm down. i feel loads better.
and just remember that ultimately, almost nothing you do will have a giant impact on the universe because we're such trivial insects compared to the vast universe. so, it doesn't matter if you slip-up a bit or fail a class. you'll move forward and stress doesn't define you.
so, like, eat something and watch your favorite youtuber.
:)
How did you deal with stress when you were in school?
How are you doing Roger :) ?
Roger: Not bad.
:(
If aliens come to earth i hope it's not like Independence Day... And if it is then uhhh.. ya know.. the earth is dead anyways so nvm u gotta point there Bill
Yea area 51 person I'd rather see aliens come to area 51 but at the same time our earth would probably be destroyed (oh wait... it already is) E.T. DONT PHONE HOME AND GET UR BUTT OVER HERE
Roger would you rather wanna see aliens or 1.7 million ppl raid area 51, although that would be funny watching them all get dusted by the military force but ya im not like struggling rn since i just started my junior year...like this week lol (nvm I forgot I had AP US History as a class darn)
Roger: Aliens? I heard there was nekomimi.
my youtube recs have been flooding me with Mr. Roger's videos and everyone keeps commenting things like "if only we still had such a great man on earth". Well we do- Roger from rogerhub! A true hero
Hello Roger I have an average of 72.91% and minimum required is a C-70 . And my finals are worth 25% how much do I need to score . 😭I don’t want to retake this class
Roger: You’ll need to get a 61.3% on your final to get a 70% overall.
Edit: I currently have an 85.33 and I want at least a 90 before the final. I have one more project worth 60% of my grade before the test. What do I have to make on that to get an A if the final is worth 15%?
Roger: Ah, okay. Check out my other questions below.
I currently have an 85.33 and I want at least a 90 before the final. I have one more project worth 60% of my grade before the test. What do I have to make on that to get an A.
Roger: How many projects have you done so far? And what did you score on them? Also, how much is your final worth? Try out the calculator mode labeled “I need something else”. It may be able to help.
My finance professor sucks.
Students who need an online calculator to determine the grade they need to pass should not be in college. This task requires sixth grade arithmetic.
Roger,
I just stumbled on this for my final (which I aced, btw ;] ). I just wanted to say you rock and you're awesome to keep helping people in these comments.
Roger: Glad to help!
I hope you guys all do well on your finals!! Just push through and it'll be over before you know it :)
I have a 58.1% on my grade if I get 100% on my too test and I need a 70% to pass would I get a 70%?
Roger: How much is your test worth?
Only need a 68 to pass my online US History with a 90%. No luck-wishing needed :).
I need to get a 52.5% on my General Chemistry 1 final to keep my A, or I can just miss it completely and get 0% and still finish with a B. Hell yeah!
I scored a 55.83% on my midterm which is worth 20% of my grade. In order to pass the class I need to get an average score of 70% between my midterm and final. My grade is at a 67.53%, what percent do I need to get on my final in order to pass the class with at least a 70%.
Roger: Does the 70% requirement apply to just the midterm and final? In that case, the rest of your grade is irrelevant, right? Anyway, 55.83% and 84.17% average out to 70%, so maybe you’ll need to score at least a 84.17%? If the 70% requirement is for your overall grade, then the answer depends on how much your final is worth. Try out the calculator mode labeled “I need something else”. It may be able to answer your question.
bruh i need 120% to get a 96 in my class
i need a 40% to pass the class and IM SO DUMB THAT I DONT EVEN THINK IM GONNA PASS THAT YALL
WOWEEE I ONLY NEED 66% TO PASS WITH A 90 OVERALL T=EFJEF HEFHWEKHFKEHFKJFHKS FHKDHF DHFKJSHFKSHF
I only need to score 36% on my final to pass my anatomy class! My final is on Thursday and then I never have to see my crazy mean professor again!!! This took a huge weight off my shoulders, so thanks Roger!
Roger: Glad to help!
hey, guys. guess what? there was an essay section and multiple choice section on my world history final. I finished my essay, but only finished 70/100 multiple choice questions and I just want to thank god that I passed
Hello
so I got a 46% on my midterm and 70% on my finals they are both worth 15% and I need at least 70% in my course (my average right now is a 68%) what do i need to get on my midterm if i were to re do it?
Roger: You’ll need to improve your midterm score by 13.3 percentage points in order to raise your overall grade by 2 percentage points (from 68% to 70%). So, you’ll need to score at least a 59.3% on your redo midterm.
Roger, do you recommend taking all IB classes? I'm asking because I'm taking them next year and I'm kind of scared to be honest 😨 :/
Roger: Yes! I really enjoyed having the same small group of classmates in every class. There’s a lot of work to do, but it’s all just schoolwork. Even if you do a terrible job, there aren’t a lot of consequences.
hi so my exam is split in two parts. one is worth 75% and the other is worth 25%. i'm at a 65 right now, so how much would my grade be if i scored 60 on the first part and 0 on the second part?? (i missed the second part lol)
Roger: If you get 60% on your first part and 0 on your second part, then you’ll score a 45% on your final. However, its effect on your overall grade depends on how much your final is worth altogether.
HERE'S TO NOT LOSING MY FINANCIAL AID BECAUSE OF THIS PSYCH EXAM
ALL I NEED IS A 46 ON IT TO PASS THE CLASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

halloooo
hey Rogers I don't know how to calculate my grade 11 function

Roger: Good luck!
I HATE CALCULUS 2
I only need a 48% to keep my A! Now I can stop stressing, whew
I had a 82.6% in Med. Surg. My final counted as 20% and I scored 84%. My instructor gave me an 81.8 % as a final grade. What am I missing?
Roger: That’s strange. Your overall grade should have gone up. What’s the other 80% of your grade made of?
my online class has a final worth 40% of our grade. pray for me. I really want to keep my A ;-;
No formula sheet on a physics exam that our teacher hasn’t prepared us for, epic
All I need is a 68 to get at an 80% on my report card please god
so basically my exam is in less than 12 hrs and i lost all motivation to study but i barely know the material, wish me luck!
Hey everybody! So I'm taking summer school and my exam is tomorrow!!! Good luck everybody!! 😇🙏😁
I have 65 in statistics currently. My final is worth 25% of my grade. What would I have to score on the exam to pass?
Roger: What’s the minimum overall grade required to pass?
i have an 88 and want to go in the 90s i have an assignment and final worth 15% each what do I roughly need on each to get my desired mark. also pls answer or i will fail i trust u roger.
Roger: It depends on how much your assignment is worth. Try out the calculator mode labeled “I need something else”. It may be able to help.
Gonna have our sleepover tonight. Shes in the bathroom abt to do crushes in tell u in 15min.
Lmao I’m gonna fail summer school math I need help roger!!! What should I do
Roger: Is it too late to drop the class?
If there are 1.7 million people raiding area 51 and the US military has 5 million bullets and a 75% accuracy percentage, how many survivors will be left, Roger?
Roger: Assuming each target only requires one hit, we should expect 5 million bullets to deliver 3.75 million hits on average. If there are 1.7 million targets, then we can use the cumulative binomial distribution function to figure out the probability of any survivors. The exact probability is difficult to compute, because the numbers are so large, which means the computation is slow and you run into issues with numerical precision. But, I think you can use the normal distribution to approximate the binomial distribution. In this case, with a z-score of (1700000 − 5000000 × 75%) / (5000000 × 75% × 25%), we can approximate a 1.4% chance of any survivors. I don’t actually know much statistics, but this seems quite high, so I don’t really trust my math.
I have a 42 in math summer school and I have to get a 50 I’m legit ded oof
im gonna fail soph year :/
