Use this average after remaining scores calculator when you already have a set of current scores and a realistic list of remaining scores, and you want to project the final equal-weight average.
Enter the percentage scores that already count. Use 84 for 84%, separated by commas, spaces, or new lines.
Enter known, expected, or planned remaining equal-weight percentage scores.
Optional comparison target for the projected final average.

What this remaining-score projection solves
This calculator projects a final average after adding multiple known or planned remaining scores to an existing equal-weight score list. It is the forward-planning companion to the remaining scores average needed calculator.
Formula
How to use it
- Enter the percentage scores already counted in one equal-weight grade list.
- Enter the remaining scores you expect or want to test.
- Enter a target average if you want a comparison.
- Check the projected final average, average change, and target gap.
- Use a more specific grade calculator if the remaining work is weighted, point-based, a final exam, or a retake.
How to read the answer
The projected final average is what the whole equal-weight score list averages after the remaining scores are included. The remaining average shows how strong the planned scores are as a group, and the target gap shows whether that plan reaches your comparison target.
When to use another grade tool
Use the remaining scores average needed calculator when you know the target but not the remaining scores. Use the next score needed calculator for one future score, the final grade calculator for a weighted final, and the weighted grade calculator for category weights.
Common mistakes and edge cases
- Do not use this for a final exam unless the final counts the same as every other score in the list.
- Do not mix scores from different weighted categories unless your teacher averages them equally.
- A remaining-score average below your current average will pull the projected final average down.
- Scores above 100% usually mean extra credit or a curved grading policy.
Worked examples
Project final average after three remaining scores
Scores of 72, 84, 88, 91, and 95 plus remaining scores of 91, 92, and 91 project to an 88% final average.
Projected final average
88%
Remaining scores pull the average down
Lower remaining scores can leave the final average below target even when the current average is strong.
Projected final average
84.2%
Extra credit projection
Remaining scores above 100% can model extra credit or curved scores when your teacher allows them.
Projected final average
97%
Invalid remaining score list
Every remaining score must be a number.

Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate my average after remaining scores?+
Add the sum of your current scores to the sum of your remaining scores, then divide by the total number of scores in both lists.
Is this different from the remaining scores average needed calculator?+
Yes. This calculator projects the final average from known or planned remaining scores. The remaining scores average needed calculator works backward from a target to the average required across the remaining work.
Can I use this for weighted grades?+
Only if the scores you enter are averaged equally inside one grade group. Use the weighted grade calculator when homework, quizzes, tests, projects, or exams have separate weights.
What if I do not know the exact remaining scores?+
Enter realistic scenario scores, then try a higher and lower set to see the range of likely final averages.
Why did my projected average go down?+
If the remaining scores average below your current average, they pull the combined final average down even if some of those scores are still passing or strong on their own.
