How it works
Walking into a final exam, the useful question is: what score do I need to hit my target grade? This calculator answers exactly that, working backwards from your current standing.
It uses the weights of each component. If coursework worth 60% has earned you 70%, and the final is worth the remaining 40%, then to reach an overall 75% you need (75 − 0.6×70) ÷ 0.4 = 82.5% on the final.
It is a reality check as much as a planner: sometimes it shows an easy target, and sometimes it reveals that even a perfect final cannot reach the goal, so you can adjust expectations early.
Frequently asked questions
What if the required score is above 100%?
That means the target is out of reach with the final alone — the earlier marks weigh it down too much. Aim for the best realistic result, or check whether any resit or bonus work is available.
How do I enter the weights?
Use the percentage each part contributes to the final grade. The coursework already done and the final exam should add up to 100% of the course.
Can I add several assignments?
Yes, add each existing grade with its corresponding weight.
