Formula and assumptions

Required exam grade = (target − current grade × (1 − exam weight/100)) ÷ (exam weight/100).

Current grade is the weighted average of completed work, excluding the final exam. Uses percentages with higher being better. Above 100% is unattainable without extra credit; below 0% means target is already secured under this model. No institution-specific rules.

Current 85%, target 90%, final exam weight 40%: required exam 97.5%.
