How this calculator works
Accuracy = min(correct answers, attempted questions) ÷ positive question count × 100. Threshold count = ceiling(question count × user threshold fraction). Additional correct answers = max(threshold count − correct answers, 0).Worked example
One hundred twenty-six correct answers out of 180 gives 70% accuracy. A chosen 75% practice threshold requires 135 correct answers, so the arithmetic gap is nine answers.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
The threshold is hypothetical and user supplied. This does not estimate the official CFA minimum passing score, grade constructed responses or predict passing at any level. Do not compare percentage-correct results across materially different mock formats.Calculation formulas
- count
MIN(correct,total)- needed
CEIL(total*threshold/100)- Practice answers correct
SAFE_DIV(count,total,0)*100- Extra correct answers needed for your target
MAX(needed-count,0)- Correct answers needed for your target

Frequently asked questions
What should I check before using the result?
Count scored questions consistently. If your practice includes constructed responses, use the provider’s documented marks instead of treating each response as a simple correct or incorrect question.
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.
