Planning for a weighted final
Working backwards from the target
With an 82 current grade and a 30% final, reaching 85 requires 92% on the exam.
When the answer is above 100 or below 0
A result above 100% means the target is unreachable on a standard exam without extra credit or another grade change.
Rules the calculator cannot see
- Entering 0.30 when the field expects 30.
- Using a current grade that already includes the final.
- Ignoring replacement or minimum-exam rules.
