Combine three practice-component results using user-verified weights and compare them with a chosen study target.
Verify the intended rubric
Use the practice provider’s component marks and the weights relevant to the exercise you are reviewing. Do not mix a raw essay mark with a scaled question score; convert to a documented common practice basis first.
How the calculation works
Normalized average = sum(component percentage × entered weight) ÷ positive weight total. Gap = max(chosen target − average, 0). Weights are normalized; a total other than 100 should still be checked against the intended practice rubric.
A worked example
Scores of 68, 60 and 70 with weights 50, 30 and 20 give (3,400 + 1,800 + 1,400) ÷ 100 = 66%. The gap to a chosen 70% practice target is four points.
Check whether one component drives the gap
Change one component at a time to see its weighted effect. An essay review may improve organization or issue spotting even when its percentage weight is smaller. Confirm actual jurisdiction requirements separately.
What the result leaves out
This does not reproduce UBE or jurisdiction-specific scaling, equating or passing rules. Component percentages must be on a comparable practice scale. User targets are study assumptions, not official eligibility or pass determinations.

The defaults are constructed examples, not market benchmarks. Keep a copy of the records and assumptions behind your result so you can repeat the comparison after the next reporting period.
