Enter your classes, credits and letter grades for your semester GPA, then add earlier semesters for your cumulative GPA. No sign-up.

Enter your current grade, the final's weight and the grade you want to see the score you need on the final, for every letter grade.

Most bachelor's degrees take about 120 credits. How that splits across semesters, what counts, and how to work out how many semesters you have left.

The formula for the final exam score you need, a calculator for your own class, a worked example with weighted categories, and what over 100% means.

The formula, a worked example, your cumulative GPA, and the GPA you need next semester to hit a goal.

Arcavelo tracks your grades, GPA and degree progress as the semester goes, so you never work these out by hand.
