What this tool does
Enter the average you already hold, how much of the final grade it represents, and the average you are aiming for. If the answer comes out above the maximum mark, the target is no longer reachable — which is worth knowing early.
Formula
needed mark = (target − present × present weight) ÷ exam weight

Limitations
- The result is an estimate based only on the values you type. Real situations often include factors this calculator does not know about.
- The calculation runs at full precision and only the display is rounded. If you copy an intermediate value and retype it, small differences can appear.
