What is the Marks Required Calculator?

This tool helps students reverse-calculate the exact numerical score needed in future exams to achieve a target overall grade or percentage for a semester course or academic year.

How Does It Work?

By entering your completed marks and remaining exam weighting, the calculator computes the overall score required and alerts you if your target is mathematically achievable or impossible.

Formula

Total Target Marks = Target Percentage × (Completed Max Marks + Remaining Max Marks) / 100

Required Score = Total Target Marks - Current Obtained Marks

Mathematical Feasibility Alerts

  • Impossible Target: Triggered when required marks exceed the maximum marks available in remaining tests (requires >100%).
  • Already Achieved: Triggered when current accumulated marks already satisfy the overall percentage goal even with 0 marks in remaining exams.
