How does this work?

Most class grades are made up of several categories: homework, classwork, tests/quizzes, and the final exam. Because the final exam is not scored until the end, it is usually excluded from your current grade and the other categories are scaled up.

Required = (Goal - Current x (100% - Final Weight)) / Final Weight

The extra question modes use the same weighted-average formulas as the RogerHub calculator for finals that count as tests, multi-part finals, point-system classes, and dropped test grades.
