FAQ

Common questions about this tool.

How are minimum passing marks calculated?

Multiply total exam marks by the required passing percentage and divide by 100, then apply the official rounding rule.

Why are passing marks sometimes rounded up?

If marks must be whole numbers, a fractional threshold normally needs the next whole mark. Rules vary, so select the method used by your exam authority.

Does this calculator officially decide whether I passed?

No. It checks one numerical threshold. Official results may also require separate passes in subjects, practicals, internals, or aggregate marks.

Can it tell me how many more marks I need?

Yes. Enter your score and the calculator shows the additional marks needed or your margin above the requirement.
