Class Grade Calculator
Class Grade is evaluated from Current Average Score, Current Grade Weight and Final Exam Weight. The calculation reports Score Needed on Final, Grade if You Score 75% on Final and Current Letter Grade.

About the Class Grade Calculator
The calculator uses a multi formula configuration. Each reported value is read as a direct evaluation of the stored rules with the declared field formats and units.
Formula basis:
Solve for final exam score: final = (target - current x current_weight) / final_weight. If result > 100%, target is unachievable. If <= 100%, target is still possible.
Interpret the outputs in the order shown by the result fields. Optional inputs affect only the outputs that depend on those variables.
Formula & How It Works
The calculation applies the following relations exactly as recorded in the metadata: Solve for final exam score: final = (target - current x current_weight) / final_weight. If result > 100%, target is unachievable. If <= 100%, target is still possible. Each output field is produced by substituting the supplied inputs into the relevant relation and then applying the declared rounding or text format.
Worked Examples
Example 1: Student with 84% needs 90% (A−) in course
Inputs
With Current Average Score = 84, Current Grade Weight = 80, Final Exam Weight = 20 and Target Course Grade = 90 as the stated inputs, the result is Score Needed on Final = 114%, Grade if You Score 75% on Final = 82.2% and Current Letter Grade = B. Each value corresponds to the declared output fields.
Example 2: Student with 72% needs to keep C (73%) in class
Inputs
With Current Average Score = 72, Current Grade Weight = 70, Final Exam Weight = 30 and Target Course Grade = 73 as the stated inputs, the result is Score Needed on Final = 75.3%, Grade if You Score 75% on Final = 72.9% and Current Letter Grade = C-. Each value corresponds to the declared output fields.
Example 3: High achiever maintaining A+: 96% current, wants 97%
Inputs
With Current Average Score = 96, Current Grade Weight = 60, Final Exam Weight = 40 and Target Course Grade = 97 as the stated inputs, the result is Score Needed on Final = 98.5%, Grade if You Score 75% on Final = 87.6% and Current Letter Grade = A. Each value corresponds to the declared output fields.
Example 4: Pass/fail borderline: 62% current, need 60% to pass
Inputs
With Current Average Score = 62, Current Grade Weight = 75, Final Exam Weight = 25 and Target Course Grade = 60 as the stated inputs, the result is Score Needed on Final = 54%, Grade if You Score 75% on Final = 65.25% and Current Letter Grade = D-. Each value corresponds to the declared output fields.
