Frequently asked questions

How is the required final score calculated?

It uses: needed = (target − current × (1 − weight)) ÷ weight, where weight is the final's share of your grade. That's the score on the final that makes your weighted average reach your target.

What if it says I need more than 100%?

Then your target isn't reachable from the final alone — you'd need extra credit or a higher-weighted assessment. Try a slightly lower target.

What if the needed score is negative?

That means you've already secured your target — even a zero on the final keeps you at or above your goal.
