How the course grade scenario planner works
Required remaining average = (target percentage × final possible points − earned points) ÷ remaining points. Maximum possible = (earned points + all remaining points) ÷ final possible points. A value below 100% is the average needed under the entered model. A value above 100% means the target is unreachable through the listed work alone. Compare the result with the official syllabus and live gradebook.

During review
Check every remaining point value and the target.

How to interpret the result
Course Grade Scenario Planner
Before generation
Use this planner when a learner or teacher needs to answer “What average is needed on the remaining work?” under a straight-points system. It supports planning conversations without claiming to reproduce a weighted or curved gradebook.
Worked example
The fictional learner has 426 of 500 points with 350 points remaining and wants 85%. The tool calculates the final point target, subtracts points already earned, and divides the needed points by the remaining opportunity.
Formula or methodology
Required remaining average = (target percentage × final possible points − earned points) ÷ remaining points. Maximum possible = (earned points + all remaining points) ÷ final possible points.
How to interpret the result
A value below 100% is the average needed under the entered model. A value above 100% means the target is unreachable through the listed work alone. Compare the result with the official syllabus and live gradebook.
Common mistakes
Do not mix weighted-category percentages with raw points. Include every remaining assessment. Account for dropped scores, reassessment, extra credit, late penalties, and rounding outside the tool when policy requires them.
