Formula
The target is a percent of points earned plus points still available:
Points needed = target × (earned + remaining) − earned
A negative result means the target is already met.
Assumptions
- Every point has the same weight.
- Remaining points are the points not yet graded.
Worked example
200 points earned, 100 still available, and a 70% target need 10 more points.
Input definitions
- Points earned
- Points already scored.
- Points remaining
- Points still available.
Limitations
This is a planning estimate for school or a calendar. It is not an official transcript, an attendance record, or a payroll ruling.
Questions
What if the result is larger than the points remaining?
The target cannot be reached with the points left.
How is this different from the final exam page?
That page uses a percent weight. This page uses raw points.
