How to use the study goal completion rate calculator
Study plans are easier to write than to keep. One workbook is a third of the way in, a vocabulary list is halfway, and it is genuinely hard to say whether that adds up to being on track. Enter each item with its target and how much of it is done, and this page reports a rate per item, two overall rates, and how they compare with the share of the plan period that has already gone by.
Two rates are reported. The weighted completion rate divides the total amount done by the total target; the average of the item rates takes each item on its own and averages them. Expected progress is days elapsed divided by total days, and the gap is the weighted rate minus that. A gap of zero reads as being on the plan, any item at 100% or more counts as finished, and the remaining amount stops at zero rather than going negative.
Two things to keep in mind. When items are measured in different units, the weighted rate blends those units together, so the average of the item rates is the safer figure to read. Expected progress assumes a steady pace across the whole period, which real plans rarely follow once weekends and exam weeks are in the mix. This page does not calculate a daily workload or the pace the remaining days would need; it reports completion against the plan and nothing more.
Frequently Asked Questions
The weighted rate divides the total amount done by the total target, while the average rate takes each item’s own rate and averages them. When items are measured in different units, the weighted figure mixes those units, so read the average alongside it.
Days elapsed divided by total days in the plan. It is where a plan that moves at a steady pace would be by now, and the gap is your weighted completion rate minus that figure.
No. This page reports completion against the plan and the gap, and it does not work out a daily workload. When the amount done passes the target, the remaining figure stops at zero.
