Semester Grade Calculator

    Calculate semester grades from quarters and finals, or find what you need on upcoming exams

    Quick Answer:

    Semester grade is usually your quarter grades and final exam combined by weight (e.g. 40% Q1, 40% Q2, 20% final). Enter your quarters and final (or leave final blank) to see your grade or what you need on the final to hit your target.

    How to Use the Semester Calculator

    This semester calculator helps you calculate semester grade by combining quarter grades (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4), midterm exam scores, and final exam scores. Use this semester grade calculator to determine what you need on your final exam to achieve your target semester grade.

    2. Input your midterm exam and final exam scores (if you've already taken them)
    3. Adjust the weight percentages to match your school's grading policy (common: 20% per quarter, 10% midterm, 10% final)
