Exam Score Planner

See the score you'd need on your remaining assessments to reach a target — based only on the weights and marks you enter. It can't predict your real result; grading and weighting depend on your course.

How this is calculated

Your course is made of assessment components, each with a weight (%); the weights should add up to 100%. For each component you enter the mark achieved (as a % of that component), or leave it blank if you haven't taken it yet. The planner then works out the average mark needed on the remaining components to reach your target overall %. This is arithmetic, not an institutional marking system.

Assessment components

    Worked example

    Example

    Components: Continuous assessment weight 30% with a mark of 80%; Exam weight 70%, not yet taken. Target overall 50%.

    Current weighted total = 30% × 80% = 0.30 × 0.80 = 24%. Remaining weight = 70%.
    Required on the exam = (50% − 24%) ÷ 70% = 26 ÷ 70 ≈ 37.1%. That is achievable because it is below 100%.

    Frequently asked questions

    What if my weights don't add up to 100%?

    The planner will warn you and show the current total. Adjust your component weights so they sum to 100% for a meaningful result.

    What does "not achievable" mean?

    It means even a perfect score (100%) on your remaining components would not reach your target. The result shows the highest overall score still possible.

    Is this my predicted result?

    No. It is the mark you would need, assuming the weights and marks you entered. Your real result depends on your institution's actual rules.
