Grade Calculator
What do I need on the final? See exactly what score you need.
A what-if grade calculator that's actually accurate: it pulls weighted categories, drop-lowest rules, excused work, and grade overrides live from your teacher's real gradebook — then lets you model hypothetical scores on anything ungraded to see your projected grade update instantly.
At a glance
The challenge
Students guess their grades
Spreadsheet calculators break the moment a course has weighted categories, dropped lowest scores, or an excused assignment — which is most real courses.
