Frequently asked questions

Can the required exam mark be over 100%?
Yes. That means the selected final target cannot be reached from the current school-awarded mark.
Why does the calculator show 0%?
Your school-awarded mark is high enough to reach the selected target even with a 0% exam mark.
Should I aim for exactly the calculated mark?
Treat it as the mathematical minimum and aim higher to leave room for normal exam-day variation.
