Infinite Campus Grade Calculator

Infinite Campus Grade Calculator

If you use Infinite Campus to track your grades, you might wonder, “What score do I need on the final exam to reach my desired grade?” Our Infinite Campus Grade Calculator takes your current grade, assignment weights, and desired final grade to tell you exactly what score you need on the final exam — plus more insights to help you plan your study strategy.


What Is the Infinite Campus Grade Calculator?

This calculator estimates the minimum final exam score required to achieve your target final grade in a class that weights your coursework and final exam differently. It’s useful for students to:

  • Understand what’s needed on the final exam to pass or earn a specific letter grade.
  • Check if their desired grade is realistically achievable.
  • Visualize their possible grade range based on current performance.

How to Use the Calculator

Step 1: Enter Your Current Grade (%)

Input your current grade in the course, expressed as a percentage (0-100).

Step 2: Enter Current Work Weight (%)

Enter the percentage weight of your current coursework (e.g., homework, quizzes, projects). Usually this plus the final exam weight equals 100.

Step 3: Enter Final Exam Weight (%)

Enter the percentage weight of the final exam (e.g., 20%).

Step 4: Enter Your Desired Final Grade (%)

Type the grade percentage you want to finish the course with (e.g., 85%).

Step 5: Select Grading Scale

Choose between:

  • Standard: A = 90%, B = 80%, C = 70%, D = 60%.
  • Honors: A = 93%, B = 85%, C = 77%, D = 70%.
  • Custom: Default to Standard (you can customize if needed).

Step 6: Click Calculate

You will get:

  • Your current letter grade.
  • The exact final exam score you need to reach your desired final grade.
  • Feasibility assessment (Achievable, Not Possible, Already Achieved).
  • Maximum and minimum possible final grades based on scores.
  • Grade range in letter format.

What Does the Calculator Output Mean?

  • Current Grade: Your grade percentage so far.
  • Current Letter Grade: Corresponding letter grade from the selected scale.
  • Final Exam Score Needed: The score you must get on the final exam to hit your target grade.
  • Feasibility: Indicates if your goal is achievable, impossible, or already reached.
  • Max Possible Grade: Your highest possible final grade if you get 100% on the final.
  • Min Possible Grade: Your lowest possible final grade if you get 0% on the final.
  • Grade Range: The letter grades you can earn based on your minimum and maximum possible final scores.

Example Calculation

Say your current grade is 82%, weighted 80% of your final grade. The final exam weighs 20%, and you want to earn at least an 85% overall.

  • Current Grade: 82%
  • Current Weight: 80%
  • Final Exam Weight: 20%
  • Desired Grade: 85%

The calculator will compute the minimum final exam score needed:
(85 - (82 * 0.8)) / 0.2 = 90%

You must score at least 90% on the final exam to achieve your goal.

FAQs

1. What if my current work and final exam weights don’t add up to 100%?

2. What if I don’t know the exact weights?
Ask your teacher or check your Infinite Campus grade report.

3. Can I use this for multiple exams?
This calculator is for one final weighted exam; multiple exams require more complex calculations.

4. What if the final exam score needed is over 100%?
