Know exactly what the final can change.

Solve the final-exam score needed for any course target, calculate the resulting course grade from an expected exam score, inspect every letter-grade threshold, convert the requirement to raw exam points, and see your mathematical floor, ceiling and score sensitivity.

Core formula: final course grade = current grade × completed weight + final exam score × final weight. In detailed mode, “current grade” is calculated from your entered coursework rather than trusted as a shortcut. The tool never assumes extra credit unless you explicitly raise the maximum possible final score.

Goal

Detailed mode. Enter completed coursework as score × course weight. Final weight is the uncompleted final-exam share. Completed components do not need to sum to 100%; they should normally sum to 100 − final weight.
