How to Handle Courses with an Oral Exam or Viva

Oral exams are graded holistically, often on a percentage-equivalent rubric. This calculator applies — enter the oral exam's percentage weight and your target score.

Key rule: Rehearse explaining concepts out loud; performance under questioning is a separate skill from written recall.

Calculation Steps for Courses with an Oral Exam or Viva

  1. Get your overall running grade from your course management system.
  2. Confirm the final exam weight from your syllabus grading breakdown.
  3. Set your target based on degree requirements, financial aid minimums, or major prerequisites.
  4. Run the calculator and interpret: under 100% is achievable, over 100% means lower your target.
