Guide written .
Open the Required exam and weighted grade calculatorWhat to prepare
- Collect fees, grades, course details or household information appropriate to the question.
- Check the relevant academic or tax year and official eligibility conditions.
- Distinguish a weighted assessment result from a financial-support estimate.
Understand the inputs
The calculation method
Add achieved grade times assessment weight, then solve for the remaining grade.
Worked example
Illustrative inputs and their result.
Example inputs
- Completed assessments: grade %, weight %
- 65, 30 72, 20
- Remaining assessment weight (%)
- 50
- Target final grade (%)
- 70
Calculated example result
- Required Remaining Grade Percent
- 72.2%
- Maximum Final Grade Percent
- 83.9%
How to interpret the result
A calculated grade or funding estimate does not override an institution's rules or establish award eligibility. Use the stated weighting or official scheme definitions.
Keep the same course, grading basis or scheme year while changing an input. Confirm a consequential result with the institution or official source.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Do not assume all assessments have equal weight.
- Keep eligible fees separate from accommodation or other costs when relief rules distinguish them.
- Check income definitions and boundary conditions against the specific scheme.
Assumptions and sources
All weights must total 100%. Institution-specific rounding, pass rules and grade classes are separate.
