Formula and example
How it is calculated
Overall=(1−w)·current+w·exam. Required exam=[target−(1−w)·current]/w.
Worked example
With a current result of 70%, an exam weight of 40% and a target of 80%, you need 95% in the exam. An exam score of 90% gives 78% overall.
Things to check
- Weights are interpreted as percentage shares of a combined score.
- Separate pass thresholds, rounding rules and compulsory requirements are not included. A required score over 100% indicates an unreachable target.
Frequently asked questions
What does a required score below zero mean?
With these weights, the target is mathematically reached even with zero exam points. A separate requirement to pass the exam may still apply.
