Frequently Asked Questions
What if the calculator says I need more than 100%? โ
The target grade is no longer achievable through the final exam alone. Consider extra credit, or adjust your target to the next lower grade.
What if the result is negative? โ
You've already secured your target grade! Even a 0% on the final would still give you the grade you want.
Can I use this for Pakistani university grading? โ
Yes. Enter your current percentage, the final exam percentage weight, and your target percentage. Works identically.
