Computes the score you need on the remaining coursework (final exam + future assignments) to reach a target final grade, given your current average and how much of the course is already graded.
This is the classic end-of-semester question. The algebra is simple — target = current × done% + needed × remaining% — but done by hand it's error-prone, and the 'is it even possible' answer matters as much as the number.

85% avg, 60% graded, target 90% → need 97.5% on the remaining 40%78% avg, 70% graded, target 80% → need ≈ 82.67%95% avg, 50% graded, target 90% → need 85% (achievable)60% avg, 90% graded, target 90% → need 240% (impossible)Q: Can I get a target above 100% achievable? A: No
if the needed score is over 100% the tool says so explicitly.
Q: What if I've already passed?
A: The tool reports when a 0 on remaining work still meets the target.
Q: Does it handle curves? A: Use your post-curve target and average
the formula is line-art.
Q: Why does the needed score go negative sometimes?
A: That means you've already exceeded the target with the work done so far.
