A 85.0% course grade is out of reach, even with a perfect final.

  • Your current grade (78.0%) and the final exam weight (30%) cap your course grade at 84.6%.
  • Consider speaking with your instructor about extra credit or incomplete options.
  • Aim for the highest score you can to minimise the impact on your GPA.
