Read the remaining target correctly
A 70% completed course
Coursework scored at 82% and worth 70% contributes 57.4 points. To finish with 80% overall, the remaining 30% must contribute 22.6 points, so the required average is 75.3%.
Weighted points, step by step
Weighted points earned = Σ(score × weight ÷ 100). Required remaining average = (target − earned points) ÷ remaining weight × 100.
Check the syllabus first
- Copy weights from the syllabus; do not treat raw point totals as percentages unless the course does.
- The assessment weights should total no more than 100%.
- Letter and 4.0 displays are estimates because schools use different boundaries.
Before relying on the result
Targets, weights and grading scales
Why is the required result above 100%?
The completed assessments have left too few weighted points available to reach the target without bonus credit.
What does a result below zero mean?
The weighted points already earned are enough to meet the selected target, even before the remaining work is counted.
