With internal assessment marked and the final still ahead, the question that matters is not how you have done but what you now need. Those are different sums, and the answer depends on how much of the subject the final exam actually carries.
Enter the marks you have banked, the share of the subject already assessed, and the grade you want overall. This calculator returns the score you need in everything remaining, and says plainly when a target is already secured or has become unreachable.
This is the input people get wrong. What is needed is your marks as a share of the whole subject, not your average on what you have sat. If internal assessment worth 20% of the subject earned you 85%, you have banked 0.85 × 20 = 17 marks out of the subject's 100. Enter 17, not 85.
The grade calculator does this conversion for you — enter your components there and bring the weighted total here. If you enter 85 where 17 belongs, this calculator will tell you the figures are inconsistent rather than returning a confident wrong answer.
Needed = (target − banked) ÷ (100 − assessed) × 100. With 17 marks banked from 20% of the subject and a 60% target: (60 − 17) ÷ 80 × 100 = 53.75%. You need just under 54% in the final worth 80%.
The remaining assessment has to cover the gap between what you hold and what you want, and it can only do so in proportion to its own weight. This is why a small remaining component must score very high to shift an overall grade, and why a heavy final exam gives you more room to recover.
If the required score exceeds 100%, the target is arithmetically impossible even with a perfect paper. The calculator says so and reports the best overall grade still available — your banked marks plus all the remaining weight.
Knowing this early matters. If the achievable grade falls below a threshold you need — for a scholarship, for a progression rule, for a postgraduate application — raise it with your department now rather than after results are published, while options like a retake or an improvement exam are still on the table.
If the required score is zero or below, your banked marks already meet the target and the remaining assessment cannot pull you under it. The calculator states this explicitly.
It does not mean you can skip the exam. Most Nepali programmes set a minimum pass mark in the theory paper independently of the aggregate, so a very low final can fail you on the component while your total looks safe. Check your programme regulations before treating a secured target as settled.
This is arithmetic, not a forecast. It does not know whether your final is harder than your terminal test, how strictly the paper will be marked, or whether any scaling will be applied afterwards.
Use it to set a concrete revision target, and treat any result needing a near-perfect paper as a warning rather than a plan. "I need 88% in the final" is far more useful three weeks before the exam than three days before it.
Your marks as a share of the whole subject. If you scored 85% on internal assessment worth 20%, enter 17 (0.85 × 20), not 85.
The target cannot be reached. The calculator reports the highest overall grade still achievable so you can aim at something realistic.
No. Most Nepali programmes require a minimum mark in the theory paper to pass the subject regardless of your aggregate. Check your programme regulations.
Yes. Treat everything unmarked as one block — the answer is the average you need across all of it, so scoring above it on one piece allows you to fall below on another.
Because your banked marks exceed the share of the subject assessed, which is impossible. You have most likely entered your component average instead of your share of the whole subject.
