Coverage is derived
The page-completion score comes from a page denominator, so changing the assignment scope changes the score even when quiz performance stays constant.

Reading Plan Weighted Score Calculator
Blend page completion, comprehension, and notes evidence into a weighted reading-plan score while preserving each contribution.
READING PLAN WEIGHTED SCORE
Show how reading evidence turns into a progress score
This score starts with a page denominator and then adds comprehension and notes evidence. The contribution ledger prevents a strong quiz result from hiding an unfinished reading scope.

Use the contribution ledger to decide whether to read more, test recall, or improve synthesis; a weighted score cannot establish long-term retention by itself.

LIVE CALCULATION PROCESS
Current values from formula to reconciliation
completion score = pages read ÷ planned pages × 100; S = completion score·wₚ + comprehension·wᑫ + notes·wₙ
HOW TO USE
Build a score from reading evidence
- Enter the planned page denominator and the pages documented as read.
- Enter comprehension and notes scores from their own evidence sources.
- Set the three weights from the reading rubric and confirm the total is 100%.
- Inspect the derived page-completion score before reviewing the weighted headline.
- Use the largest contribution and target gap to choose whether to cover scope, test recall, or improve synthesis.
SUBJECT FUNDAMENTALS
Why the page denominator stays visible
- Page completion score
- Pages read divided by planned pages, expressed on the same 0–100 scale as the evidence scores.
- Comprehension evidence
- A score from quiz, recall, explanation, or another declared understanding check.
- Notes evidence
- A score for annotation or synthesis quality under a specific rubric.
- Weight allocation
- The portion of the final score assigned to each evidence stream.
- Contribution
- One evidence score multiplied by its weight.
- Weighted reading score
- The sum of the three contributions, not a measure of long-term memory.
CALCULATION METHOD
Derive coverage, then combine evidence
p = pages read ÷ planned pages × 100S = p·wₚ + q·wᑫ + n·wₙwₚ + wᑫ + wₙ = 100%
Defaults give p = 240÷300×100 = 80%. The contributions are 80×0.30 = 24, 86×0.50 = 43, and 72×0.20 = 14.4, so S = 81.4% and the target gap is +1.4 points.
DEEP ANALYSIS
Do not let the headline erase the evidence
Evidence streams differ
A comprehension percentage and a notes percentage should come from separate observations. Reusing the same score overstates certainty.
Weights are transparent choices
Two people can enter the same evidence and receive different totals under different rubrics. The contribution table makes that policy visible.
RESULT INTERPRETATION
Use the score to select the next lever
A positive target gap means the weighted evidence clears the declared threshold. It does not guarantee retention. A low completion contribution can be a scope issue; a low comprehension contribution calls for recall or explanation work.
The stack chart shows which component supplies the score. It can be misleading if the entered evidence was collected under different dates or rubrics.
EVIDENCE AND DATA LINEAGE
Keep pages and evidence aligned
Retain the assignment page range, completion record, quiz or recall result, notes rubric, and weights. Record whether pages were skimmed, read for a purpose, or reviewed after reading.
LIMITS AND EXCLUSIONS
Boundaries of the weighted score
- It does not measure transfer to new problems or delayed recall.
- It does not infer a grade unless the entered weights match an official rubric.
- It does not make page count comparable across books with different density or accessibility requirements.
TECHNICAL GLOSSARY
Evidence vocabulary
- Page denominator
- The planned page count used to derive coverage.
- Coverage score
- Coverage expressed as a percentage for the weighted model.
- Recall check
- An attempt to produce key ideas without looking at the source.
- Notes rubric
- The stated rule used to score synthesis or annotation.
- Weighted contribution
- One score's share of the composite.
- Target gap
- The composite minus the declared target.
WORKED DECISION CASES
Different bottlenecks, different actions
Pages ahead, notes behind
The weighted score can remain above target while the notes contribution is weak. The next action may be a synthesis pass instead of adding more reading volume.
Strong comprehension, incomplete scope
A high quiz score does not remove the page denominator. The student can protect the remaining scope while keeping the successful recall method.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Every contribution needs a source
Keep the evidence record and weight policy with the result; a precise composite cannot rescue unsupported inputs.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Reading Plan Weighted Score questions
Why is page completion converted to a score?
The model needs a common 0–100 scale before combining coverage with comprehension and notes. The conversion is shown explicitly.
Can pages read exceed planned pages?
No. Over-reading is a different scope decision and must be represented by revising the plan, not silently capping the input.
Is this the same as a grade?
Only if its evidence definitions and weights are the official grade rubric. Otherwise it is a planning score.
What if weights total 99%?
The page rejects the record because the score allocation is incomplete.
Should notes be scored subjectively?
They can be rubric-scored, but the rubric and reviewer should be recorded so the percentage has context.
