How it works

Answer-first introduction

Calculate the marks needed in a final exam or remaining assessment to reach a target total. Enter the marks already earned, marks available so far, the maximum marks remaining and the desired overall score. The result shows the required marks and required percentage in the remaining component.

Result copy

You need [required marks] out of [remaining marks], or [required percentage]%, in the remaining assessment to reach [target]%. Status: [Reachable / Requires full marks / Not mathematically reachable / Target already reached].

Required-marks formula

When all components are expressed as marks: required remaining marks = target final marks − marks already earned required remaining percentage = required remaining marks ÷ remaining maximum marks × 100 When assessments are weighted, convert each score into its weighted contribution before subtracting from the target.

Worked example

A student has earned 42 marks from coursework worth 60 marks. The final exam is worth 40 marks, and the target is 70 marks out of 100. 70 − 42 = 28 28 ÷ 40 × 100 = 70% The student needs 28 out of 40, or 70%, in the final exam.

Result states

If required percentage is below or equal to 0%, state that the target is already secured under the entered assumptions.
If it is above 100%, state that the target is not mathematically reachable from the remaining assessment alone.
If it is exactly 100%, explain that full marks are required.
Never convert the result to a GPA unless the selected grading scale is visible.

How to use the result

Break the required score into topic and question targets only when the exam structure is known. Pair the result with a study timetable, but avoid presenting a required score as a predicted score.

FAQs

What score do I need on my final exam?

Subtract marks already earned from the target final marks, then compare the remainder with the marks available in the final.

Can this calculator use weighted assessments?

Yes, when every component is entered as its weighted contribution or the interface performs the conversion transparently.

What does “not reachable” mean?

It means the required score is higher than the maximum available under the entered data. It does not account for extra credit, rechecking or policy exceptions.

Can it predict my final grade?

It can show scenarios based on entered scores; it cannot predict what you will actually earn.
