Grade Predictor

A grade predictor forecasts your final course grade and tells you what scores you still need on remaining work to hit a target. You enter your current grade, the weights of assignments, exams, projects, participation and homework, and a goal grade. It's a planning tool, not a guarantee — your real grade depends on your actual performance.

The calculator subtracts the points you've already locked in from your target, then divides by the weight of the work that remains: (Target Grade − Points Already Earned) ÷ (Weight of Remaining Work). For example, with an 82% average on the 80% of the course already graded and a final worth 20%, a target of 80% needs (80 − 65.6) ÷ 0.20 = 72% on the final. A target of 90% would need 122%, which the calculator reports as not achievable on the remaining work alone.

The calculator treats any weight not assigned to remaining work as already reflected in your current grade. If the weights you enter for assignments, final exam, participation, projects and homework add up to more than 100%, the prediction breaks and the tool will flag that your weights exceed 100%. Match the weights to your course syllabus so the totals stay within 100%.

The 'Target Grade' method starts from the grade you want and works backward to tell you the score you need on remaining work. The 'Projection' method instead assumes you keep scoring the average you hold across everything already graded, and shows the final grade that produces. It does not let you type in different scores for upcoming work; to test a specific score, compare it with the required score from the Target method.

No. This is an unofficial planning estimate. Your official grade comes from your instructor and your institution's grading system, which may include rounding rules, curves, extra credit, attendance policies or dropped lowest scores that this calculator doesn't know about. Always confirm your true standing with your syllabus, your instructor, or your school's grade portal.
