Grade Calculators: Online Tool for Achieving Course Targets

Grade calculators are simple online tools that allow students to estimate what grades they need on future assignments to achieve their target course grade. They require entering your current grade, weights of assignments, and goals.

What is Grade Calculators?

Grade calculators are handy online tools used by students to estimate or forecast what grades they need to earn on future tests, assignments, and assessments in order to achieve their desired grade for the class. They require entering some details about your current standing in the course, such as:

• Your current grade average based on grades received so far
• The weights or percentages that each category of assessments count towards your final grade (e.g. 30% exams, 50% essays)
• How many assessments remain
• Your target grade goal for the course

By inputting this information, grade calculators can run the calculations to determine approximately what grades would be required on remaining work to reach your goal. For example, if you have a current 83% grade, but want to end the class with an A (90% or higher), it will compute that you would need around 95% average on remaining items.

The advantage of using grade calculators is that they provide better visibility into the grades you realistically need to achieve on future coursework. Rather than vague targets like "I need to do better", you can set concrete goals like "I should get at least a 90% on the next two exams". This helps inform better study strategies and effort levels.
