Nervous about your final grade? Calculate your pass/fail status immediately based on your current standing and potential final exam scores.
Not every class is about getting an A. Sometimes, life happens. You get sick, you get overwhelmed, or you just hit a subject that refuses to click (looking at you, Organic Chemistry). In these moments, the goal shifts from "Excellence" to "Survival." Our Pass/Fail Calculator is designed for the crisis moment. It tells you exactly what you need on the final exam to keep your credit, avoid summer school, and live to fight another day.
Most high schools set the failure line at 59% or 64%. Colleges often set the "Credit" line at a C- (70%) for major requirements, but a D (60%) for electives.
Many colleges allow you to switch a non-major course to "Pass/Fail" grading up until a certain deadline.
If you need a 55% on the final to pass, you don't need to know everything. You need to know half of everything. Focus 100% of your energy on the "Easy Concepts" you skipped. Ignore the "Hard Concepts." Mastery is not the goal; points are.
Look for "lowest grade dropped" policies. If your teacher drops the lowest quiz, calculate your grade without that zero. You might be safer than you think.
If you have a legitimate medical or family emergency, ask for an "Incomplete." This gives you 2-3 extra months to finish the coursework. It is better than taking an F. Do not ask for this if you simply procrastinated.
Usually, YES for general graduation units, but NO for prerequisites. (e.g., You cannot take Calc II if you got a D in Calc I).
Rarely. A "C" is a passing grade. Colleges rescind offers for Ds and Fs, or a drastic drop in GPA (e.g., straight As to straight Cs).
Usually, no. If you got a C-, you are stuck with it. You can only retake classes you failed (F). Check your specific school's "Grade Forgiveness" policy.
In college, if your GPA drops below 2.0, you are put on probation. You have one semester to fix it or you are dismissed. This calculator is your best friend in that scenario.
Yes. It replaces the F on your transcript (usually). It is expensive and boring, but it is better than not graduating.
