GPA and final-grade calculators: work out the target first

A target grade depends on the grading scale and the weight of each assessment. Entering those details makes the required final-exam score easier to check.

Confirm how the course total is composed, then enter the completed grade, final-exam weight and target. The result is the exam score required under those conditions.

A negative result means the entered grades already meet the target in this model; it is not permission to miss the exam. A result above the maximum means the exam alone cannot reach the target. Attendance and minimum-component requirements still depend on course rules.

Check course credits, grade-point mappings and which courses count towards the average. A preset is a starting point; the institution's published rules are the reference.

The tool supports letter-grade and numerical entry, along with custom mappings. When sharing an exported JSON configuration, label its institution and version to avoid applying the wrong rules.

Work through one or two courses by hand to check the credit weights and conversion table. Then add the others and check how repeats, exemptions and ungraded courses are handled.

The calculator helps compare scenarios. Official grades and application records should still follow the institution's records.
