How do I get my grade average?

For finals, how can I find out how low of a grade I can get on the final to get a certain grade?

• ex- I have a 77.23% in the class right now, the final is worth 20% of my grade and I want to get a 80% for my final grade. How would I figure this out?

• Answer:

  It used to be easy to do this but now different schools/teachers have new scales so not that easy anymore! Basically go into it like you are going to do great and get 98% of it right. You will tell yourself this repeatedly & then do better on the test. You may surprise yourself! Good luck. P.S. Ask the teacher. It depends on how many ?'s are on the test too & what the points are worth. If you have one that has essay answers worth 3-5 points each it's too difficult to give you a definitive answer on here. Hope this helps.
