How to use it
Enter your current grade, your target grade, and the maximum extra credit available. The calculator shows the gap and whether the available extra credit can close it.
Formula
Extra credit needed = Target − CurrentExamples
Example: Current 82%, target 90%. Gap = 8%. If max extra credit is 5%, it isn't enough.
Example: Current 87%, target 90%. Gap = 3%. With 5% extra credit available, it's achievable.
