Try a realistic exam score
- Enter the grade earned before the final.
- Enter an actual or expected final-exam score.
- Add the final’s percentage weight.

A final worth one quarter
Check the syllabus for these exceptions
- Giving the exam and current grade the same weight.
- Entering the remaining course weight instead of the final weight.
- Rounding both contributions before adding them.
