Target-Class Planner — What Do I Need?
Tell it where you stand and which class you want; it solves for the average your remaining work must deliver. And when the honest answer is that a target has closed, it says so — and shows you the best outcome still open, instead of a fantasy number to chase.
How to read the three answers: reachable — the required average is a real target · reachable only at the ceiling — it needs a near-perfect run (above 95% of the maximum) · not reachable — the required average is above the maximum itself, so the planner leads with the best class still open to you.
What do I need?
Your CWA so far, as a percentage.
Enter the GPA of each level you have finished. Levels 300 and 400 count double — the planner uses the weight of the levels you still have left, not a flat average.
Three worked plans
KNUST — reachable, but steep
Standing: 5,460 weighted marks over 84 credits (CWA 65.00), with 36 credits left, aiming at First Class (70.00 over the final 120 credits). The target needs 70 × 120 = 8,400 weighted marks in total; 8,400 − 5,460 = 2,940 still to earn over 36 credits → an average of 81.67 — an A-average in every remaining credit. Reachable, and the planner calls it what it is: steep.
KNUST — not reachable, answered honestly
Standing: 4,800 weighted marks over 96 credits (CWA 50.00), 24 credits left, same target. It would need (8,400 − 4,800) ÷ 24 = 150.00 — impossible. The best finish still open is (4,800 + 2,400) ÷ 120 = 60.00: Second Class Upper. That is the answer the planner gives — the ceiling, not the fantasy.
UG — the double-weighted final level
Finished: Level 100 GPA 3.10, Level 200 3.30, Level 300 2.90 — weighted sum 3.10 + 3.30 + 5.80 = 12.20 of the 21.60 a First Class FGPA needs. Level 400 (weight 2) would have to supply 9.40 ÷ 2 = a 4.70 GPA — impossible. The best FGPA still open is (12.20 + 8.00) ÷ 6 = 3.37, and Second Upper needs a Level 400 GPA of just 2.90. The planner guide walks through all three in plain language.
Planner questions
How does the planner work out what I need?
Backwards, from the definition of the average itself: the marks your target requires in total, minus the marks you have already banked, divided by the work you have left. For UG it works in level weights — a remaining Level 400 carries weight 2 of 6, so it moves the FGPA twice as much per grade point as a Level 100 did.
The planner says my target is not reachable. Is it broken?
No — that is the planner doing its most important job. If reaching your target would take an average above the maximum (above 100% at KNUST, above 4.00 at UG or UCC), no amount of effort changes the arithmetic, and a tool that answered "you need 150%" as advice would be lying to you. The planner shows the best outcome still open instead, so you can aim at something real.
What does "reachable only at the ceiling" mean?
Your target needs an average above 95% of the maximum over everything you have left — for example, above 95% in every remaining KNUST course. It is mathematically open and practically a near-perfect run. Treat the class below as your working target and this one as a stretch.
Can I plan from my saved tracker record?
Yes — "Use my grade tracker record" brings over your current average and credits from the record saved in this browser. For UG, enter your finished levels’ GPAs directly, because the plan depends on which weighted levels remain.
