Introduction
When a student sets a target grade or percentage, the next question is: how much do I need to improve in each subject to get there? This Marks Improvement Calculator answers that question precisely. Enter your current marks for each subject and your target percentage, and the calculator will show you exactly how many marks you need to gain overall, which subjects need the most work, and what improvement is realistically possible in each area.

How It Works
The calculator computes your current total and the target total based on your desired percentage. The difference is the marks gap. Subjects are then sorted by current performance to help students identify which subjects offer the most room for improvement.
Formula
Marks Gap = (Target% × Total Subjects × 100) − Current Total | Improvement per Subject = Marks Gap ÷ Number of Subjects
