SO I have a couple of assessments with specific weights as follows:
- Assignment 1: 5% => Mark 60%
- Assignment 2: 5% => Mark 53%
- Assignment 3: 5%
- Assignment 4: 5%
- Test 1: 30% => 47%
- Test 2: 30%
- Practical 1: 10% => 66%
- Practical 2: 10%
Currently the average of the assessments with marks is 52.7%. However My target is to get a final mark of 60%, therefore i am currently 7.3% below my target.How do i assign this deficit to the remaining assessments taking into consideration the different weights of these assessments?
Lets look at it like you need a total of $60$ percentage points. Right now you have $$.05(60)+.05(53)+.3(47)+.1(66)=26.35\text{ percentage points}$$
So, you need to now achieve $$.05(\text{A3})+.05(\text{A4})+.3(\text{T2})+.10(\text{P2})$$ such that the sum of that expression is $33.65$.
If you are looking for what single grade could you score on them all and achieve your goal, you can simplify it to $$.5A=33.65\\A=67.3$$
But obviously you could do slightly better on the test and much worse on the others and pass that way too.
