How to use
- Type the final percentage you want, for example 80.
- Add every completed assessment with the marks you obtained, its total marks, and its weightage.
- Add every remaining assessment with its total marks and weightage. Weightages of all assessments should add up to 100.
- Press Calculate. The tool shows the average percentage you need in the remaining assessments and the exact marks needed in each one.
- If the target is not reachable, lower the target or check that all completed assessments are entered.
Common questions
- How is the required percentage calculated?
- Your weighted score from completed assessments is subtracted from the target, and the gap is divided by the remaining weightage.
- What does weightage mean?
- The share of the final result an assessment carries. A final exam worth 70 percent counts more than twice as much as a midterm worth 30 percent.
- Why must weightages add up to 100 percent?
- Because the completed and remaining assessments together should cover the full final result. A missing part makes the required marks wrong.
