- Total max = 400 + 100 = 500
- Target marks = 85.0% × 500 = 425.00
- Needed from remaining papers = 425.00 − 340.00 = 85.00
- That is 85.0% of the remaining 100 marks.

How required marks are calculated
Each block explains one part of how this works and how to read the result.
Target total minus scored
Total maximum = max so far + remaining maximum. Target marks = target% × total maximum. Marks still needed = target marks − marks already scored. If that exceeds remaining maximum, the target is unreachable; we also show the best possible overall %.
Frequently asked questions
Are all papers equal weight?
This uses raw marks. For credit-weighted GPA goals, use the GPA Goal Calculator.
Internal + external?
Fold both into “scored” and “max so far” / “remaining” as your marksheet does.
Best-of-five boards?
Estimate using the subjects that will count, or use the CBSE/ICSE best-of tools when available.
Can needed marks be zero?
Yes — if you already cleared the target on completed papers alone.
