Midterm grade calculator
Midterms often land before you have a stable “current.” Enter whatever graded share you trust, the midterm’s weight, and the target. After the midterm posts, flip to project mode to see the new course %.

When to use — and when not to
When to use
Midterm week; midterm is 25–40% of the course; you want a minimum score, not a study pep talk.
When not to
High school quarter math — quarter or semester tools. Full category rebuild — weighted grade calculator.
Assumptions
Current excludes this midterm. Weight is course percent for that midterm alone.
How it works
needed = (target − current × (1 − w)) / w
- Enter current % without the midterm.
- Enter midterm weight.
- Enter target; read needed.
Examples
current 86, midterm 30%, target 90
needed ≈ 99.3%
current 70, midterm 25%, target 75
needed ≈ 90%
Gotchas
- If two midterms share an “exams” bucket, this page’s weight is only this sitting’s share.
- Some classes replace the midterm with the final — different policy, different model.
- A midterm curve can land after you calculate.
