About this tool
Whether you are aiming for 60% in a board exam or a distinction in a university course, it helps to know exactly how many marks you still need. This calculator compares what you have scored with what the target demands.
It also handles partly finished assessments: if only some papers are evaluated, tell the tool how many marks have been marked so far and it shows what you need from the remaining papers.
How to use the Target Marks Calculator
- Enter the maximum marks for the entire exam or course.
- Enter the marks you have obtained.
- Enter the percentage you want to reach.
- If some papers are still pending, fill "Marks already evaluated out of" with the maximum marks of the papers already marked.
- Press Calculate to see current percentage, additional marks and what is needed from the remaining portion.
Practical examples
How it works
Current % = obtained / marks evaluated x 100. Marks needed overall = total x target / 100. Additional marks = marks needed - obtained, never below zero.
Required performance on the remaining papers = additional marks / (total - marks evaluated) x 100. If this is above 100% the tool warns you that the target is not reachable.
