This tool is designed to estimate the final exam grade needed to achieve a desired overall course grade. It allows students to input their current grade, the desired final grade, and the weight of the final exam in the overall course grade calculation. By processing these inputs, it provides the minimum score required on the final assessment.
Its significance lies in offering students a clear understanding of their academic standing and the necessary effort to reach their goals. The derived value facilitates targeted study efforts, enhancing academic planning. The creation of such utilities often stems from the need for students to efficiently manage their study strategies and alleviate the stress associated with grade uncertainty.
