Final-exam anxiety shrinks once arithmetic replaces guessing. Your target grade is a weighted blend of existing performance and the exam: solve the blend equation for the exam score and the mystery dissolves into a concrete number.
The answer sometimes exceeds 100%, which is genuinely useful information — better to learn a goal is unreachable before the exam than after. Conversely, some students discover they've already locked their target and can study proportionally.
