My exam scores and what I need
Exam 1: 74 / 100 路 Exam 2 (Oct 28): about 83.5 / 100 (multiple choice 20/25 = 60 pts + short answers about 23.5 pts, my estimate before grading).
Grading (syllabus): best 4 of 5 exams 脳 100 pts (~73%) + ~150 pts homework (~27%), ~550 pts total. The optional comprehensive final can replace one of Exams 1-3. Scale: A 92 路 A- 89 路 B+ 86 路 B 82 路 B- 79 路 C+ 76.
Average needed on Exams 3 + 4 (homework ~95%): B 76 路 B+ 87 路 A- 95.
With the final replacing the 74 (same score on Exam 3, Exam 4 and the final): B 75 路 B+ 82 路 A- 88 路 A 93.
