Points your current grade already counts for
current × (1 − final weight)
88% × (1 − 0.25) = 66%
Points still needed to reach your target
target − those points
90% − 66% = 24%
Divide by the final's weight
needed = (target − current × (1 − w)) ÷ w
24 ÷ 0.25 = 96%
How it works
Needed on the final = (target grade − current grade × (1 − final weight)) ÷ final weight, all in percent
