-2=?

With a perfect exam score of 40/40 and assuming that you're rank 1, you're on the road of obtaining a perfect 50! Aim for full marks!

Can someone tell us how many marks as a whole (exam 1 + exam 2) to get a:
40
45
50

this would be more helpful, as both exams are equally weighted in terms of our results.

based on what's been written here
40: ~89/100
45:95-96
50:98-100

assuming decent rank
