Breakdown
How it works
Your overall grade is a weighted average of coursework so far and the final. Rearranging gives the final score required for any target. If it exceeds 100% the target is out of reach; if it is negative you have already secured it.
Formula
Required = (target − current × (1 − weight)) ÷ weight
Worked example
Current 68%, final worth 40%, target 70%: (70 − 68 × 0.6) ÷ 0.4 = 73%.
Frequently asked questions
What if my course has several remaining assessments?
Combine their weights into one "final" and treat the required score as the average you need across them.
How do I find the weight?
In the module handbook or syllabus; typical finals are 40–60% of the grade.
What is a First in the UK?
70%+. 2:1 is 60–69%, 2:2 50–59%, Third 40–49%.
