Semester Grade Calculator

To calculate semester grade, use: Semester Grade = (First Quarter Grade x First Quarter Weight / 100) + (Second Quarter Grade x Second Quarter Weight / 100) + (Final Exam Grade x Final Exam Weight / 100).

To answer what grade do I need on my final, use: Required Final Exam Grade = (Target Semester Grade - Current Weighted Grade) / (Final Exam Weight / 100). Current weighted grade is the first quarter contribution plus the second quarter contribution.

Suppose your first quarter grade is 84% with a 40% weight, your second quarter grade is 88% with a 40% weight, and your final exam grade is 90% with a 20% weight. The semester grade is 33.6 + 35.2 + 18.0, which equals 86.8%.

If your target semester grade is 90% instead, the required final exam mode subtracts your current weighted grade from the target and divides by the final exam weight as a decimal. The result shows the final exam score needed, but every school can define grade bands and rounding rules differently.

Students use a semester grade calculator online when they need a clear view of how quarter grades, assignments, projects, and final exam scores combine. It is especially helpful before finals because you can see whether a final exam has enough weight to change your final semester grade or whether coursework is the better place to improve.
