How this calculator works
Practice average = multiple-choice score × its weight + simulation score × remaining weight. Gap = max(practice target − average, 0). Required simulation score = (target − weighted multiple-choice money left after variable costs) ÷ positive simulation weight. Values above 100 mean the target cannot be reached by simulations alone.Worked example
A 72% multiple-choice result weighted 60% and a 65% simulation result weighted 40% give 69.2%. The gap to a 75% practice target is 5.8 points. Holding MCQ unchanged would require 79.5% in simulations.Assumptions
Defaults are illustrative. Replace them with your own measured quantities and documented assumptions. Use matching periods and a consistent currency wherever monetary amounts are entered.Interpreting your results
This is not official CPA scoring or a pass prediction. Provider practice percentages and user weights cannot recreate a scaled exam score. Verify practice-set definitions and compare only similar exercises.Calculation formulas
- score
mcq*w/100+sim*(1-w/100)- Weighted practice score
score- Points below your practice target
MAX(target-score,0)- Simulation score needed to reach your target
SAFE_DIV(target-mcq*w/100,1-w/100,0)
Frequently asked questions
What should I check before using the result?
Use weights supplied for the exact practice set, not an assumed official exam conversion. The remaining weight is allocated to simulations. If your material has more components, combine them on a documented basis first.
Does this tool connect to my records?
No. This is a local calculation from the figures you enter. It does not scan accounts, import private records or verify legal, regulatory or exam requirements.
