Grade boundary scenario calculator

Calculate current share of full course and maximum attainable share with your own figures.

Your numbers

Use the units shown. Results update as you change valid inputs.

Use current share of full course and maximum attainable share to compare changes to your inputs. The method and limits below explain the scope.

Examples

Examples

Try the starting example

Grade bands: name, required points
A,90 B,80 C,70
Points already earned
65
Remaining possible points
20
Total possible course points
100
Current share of full course (%)
65
Maximum attainable share (%)
85
Required additional points by band
A: 25 (unattainable); B: 15 (attainable); C: 5 (attainable)

Try another scenario

Grade bands: name, required points
A,90 B,80 C,70
Points already earned
80
Remaining possible points
10
Total possible course points
100
Current share of full course (%)
80
Maximum attainable share (%)
90
Required additional points by band
A: 10 (attainable); B: 0 (attainable); C: 0 (attainable)
Calculation method

Calculation method

Current share of full course (%)

Earned points / total course points × 100.

Maximum attainable share (%)

(Earned points + remaining possible points) / total course points × 100.

Required additional points by band

For each threshold, max(0, threshold − earned points); mark feasible only if this is within remaining possible points.

Symbols and units
a
Grade bands: name, required points
b

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Thresholds are absolute course points supplied by you, not percentages. Assumes no extra credit, resits or rounding. Earned points are measured against the full course total, not only work completed.
