How to Use the UA Final Exam Calculator

Follow these steps for an accurate Final Exam result

1Enter Your Completed Assignment Grades

Add every graded item you have received back so far — midterms, homework averages, quizzes, lab reports, and projects. For each entry, provide the assignment name, the grade you received (as a percentage), and the weight it carries in the final course grade. Check your UA course syllabus for the exact weights; they should sum to 100% including the final exam.

2Set the Final Exam Weight

Enter the percentage of your total UA course grade that the final exam is worth. Common values are 30–50%, though some UA courses weight the final as high as 60%. Once you set this, the current completed-assignments weight and the final exam weight together should total 100%.

3Enter Your Desired Course Grade

Type in the course grade percentage you want to achieve. If you are targeting a letter grade, use the percentage boundaries in your University of Alabama course syllabus; the table on this page provides the configured grade-point mapping.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about calculating GPA at UA

The calculator uses the weighted-grade formula: Required Final Score = (Desired Grade − Current Weighted Score) ÷ Final Exam Weight. "Current Weighted Score" is the sum of each completed assignment's (grade × weight), expressed as a fraction. The calculator handles this automatically — just enter your grades, weights, and target.
