Final Grade Needed Calculator

Open tool →
\[ F=\frac{G-C(1-w)}{w} \]

Enter Current grade and Goal grade as percents, and Final weight (%) as the exam's share of the whole course. Needed on final is (goal − current × (1 − w)) / w, with w as that weight as a decimal. A result above 100 means the goal is out of reach on this weighting alone.

Grade Curve Calculator

Open tool →
\[ s'=n_{min}+t(n_{max}-n_{min}) \]

Enter Score, Old min, Old max, New min, and New max for the Grade Curve Calculator; use finite values in the indicated domain. The calculator reports Curved score: Simple linear curve between old and new ranges. Confirm the course's actual weighting and rounding policy before relying on the result.

Points Needed Calculator

Open tool →
\[ need = g\cdot(P+N)-E \]

Enter Goal %, Points earned so far, Points possible so far, and Next assessment max for the Points Needed Calculator; enter percentage fields as percentage points. The calculator reports Points needed on next: Goal percent over total points including the next assessment. A result below zero means the goal is already secured; one above Next assessment max is unattainable.

Reading Time Calculator

Open tool →
\[ t=W/v \]

Enter Word count and Words per minute for the Reading Time Calculator; use finite values in the indicated domain. The calculator reports Minutes: Time = words ÷ reading speed. Words per minute must be positive, and actual reading speed varies with text difficulty.

Semester GPA Calculator

Open tool →
\[ GPA=\frac{\sum g_i c_i}{\sum c_i} \]

Choose how many courses to include, then enter each grade as a letter from the GPA scale or as grade points from 0 to 4.0. Letters take their values from the editable chart. GPA is total quality points divided by total credits and cannot exceed 4.0.

Weighted Grade Calculator

Open tool →
\[ G=\frac{\sum s_i w_i}{\sum w_i} \]

Enter Score 1, Weight 1, Score 2, Weight 2, Score 3, Weight 3, Score 4, and Weight 4 for the Weighted Grade Calculator; use finite values in the indicated domain. The calculator reports Weighted grade: Weighted average of category scores. Weights should represent the same scale and normally sum to 100%.
