But building one that's actually reliable, mobile-friendly, and useful for scenario planning involves some interesting engineering decisions. Here's a full breakdown.The Formula Is the FoundationEverything starts with the official Ministry of Education formula:Final Grade = (High School Average × 0.25) + (Exam Average × 0.75) + Bonus PointsWhere:Exam Average = (Romanian + Mandatory Subject + Optional Subject) / 3The weighting is deliberate — your continuous performance across 4 years counts for 25%, but the actual exams drive 75% of the result. Bonus points (from competitions like the national olympics) cap at 1.00 and are added after, with the final grade capped at 10.00.</p> ai webdev programming productivity
