How to use the Grade Target Calculator

Use the result as a planning guide
The result helps you understand what is realistically needed, but it should not create unnecessary pressure. Use it to decide where to focus revision, ask for support or set a practical goal.
Check that the assessment weightings are correct. A small error in weighting can change the required score significantly.
Example
If you have completed 50% of a course with a strong current average, enter that result and the weighting of the remaining exam. Then enter the overall grade you hope to achieve to see the required exam score.
