Frequently asked questions

My final paper is scaled down. Can I use this?

Use the Final Exam Marks Needed tool instead. It handles papers that count for fewer marks than the paper's maximum.

Why does it say not possible?

Even full marks in the remaining papers would not bring the total to your target. Choose a lower target to see what is within reach.
