Grade Calculator answers "what score do I need on the final to hit my target grade?" and clearly explains when the target is unreachable or already secured.
It means that, under your entered current grade, final weight, and target grade, the required final exam score would exceed 100 — the target is not achievable.
It means your current grade already meets or exceeds the target even with a 0 on the final, so the required score comes out at 0 or below.
No — the tool rejects this and explains that at 0% weight, the final has no effect on the course grade, so there is nothing to solve for.
101.67%
Formula: required = (target − current × (1 − final weight)) / final weight
Under these assumptions, the target grade is not reachable — the required score is over 100.
