Question

If I am getting 65% in a course and an exam is worth 20% and I get 0%, what will my course mark become?

Answer 1

You'll get a 52%.

80% * 65% + 20% * 0% = 52%

If you want a minimum final grade, use this equation:

5 * (Minimum final grade - 52 ) = needed percentage score on exam

So if you want to get at least a 60%, do 5 * (60-52) = 40.
