How to Calculate Required Marks to Achieve Your Target Grade

If you know your current marks and total possible marks, you can calculate exactly how many marks you still need to achieve your target grade.

Simple Formula

Required Marks = (Target Percentage × Total Possible Marks) − Current Marks

Example

• Total possible marks in course: 500
• You already have: 350 marks
• Target percentage: 80%

Required = (0.80 × 500) − 350 = 400 − 350 = 50 more marks needed
