حاسبة WAM

حول هذه الحاسبة

This calculator works out your WAM (Weighted Average Mark) — the metric most Australian universities use to summarise your results. Enter each unit’s raw mark out of 100 and its credit points; the WAM is the average of those marks weighted by credit points. The default scheme (UNSW, UTS and the general University of Sydney method) weights by credit points only; switch to the Monash scheme to weight first-year units at 0.5 and later-year units at 1.0. WAM is a mark out of 100, not a GPA.

كيف تقرأ نتائجك

The headline figure is your WAM, shown to three decimal places (the precision Monash and most universities report). Beside it sit the overall grade band, your total credit points and the number of units. The bar chart shows each unit’s mark so you can see which results pull the average up or down. Remember that grade-band labels (HD, Distinction, Credit, Pass) are display-only — they never change the WAM number, which is computed straight from your marks.

طريقة الحساب

Each unit contributes its mark multiplied by its effective weight. Under the base scheme the weight is the unit’s credit points. Under the Monash scheme the weight is credit points × a year-level multiplier (0.5 for first-year units, 1.0 for later-year units). The WAM is Σ(mark × weight) ÷ Σ(weight). Grade bands are looked up from the mark for display only: the NSW scale uses HD ≥ 85, D ≥ 75, Cr ≥ 65, P ≥ 50; the Monash scale uses HD ≥ 80, D ≥ 70, C ≥ 60, P ≥ 50. Inputs are validated: each mark must be within [0, 100] and each credit-point value must be greater than 0. This is an unofficial estimate — confirm your official WAM with your university.

مثال تطبيقي

Four units on the credit-point scheme: 80 (6 cp), 72 (6 cp), 85 (6 cp) and 64 (12 cp).

Numerator = 80×6 + 72×6 + 85×6 + 64×12 = 2190; total credit points = 30; WAM = 2190 ÷ 30 = 73.000. On the NSW band scale that is a Credit (65–74). The 12-credit-point unit counts twice as much as each 6-credit-point unit, which is why its lower mark of 64 weighs the average down.

الأسئلة الشائعة

How is WAM calculated?

WAM = Σ(unit mark × credit points) ÷ Σ(credit points). Each unit’s raw mark out of 100 is weighted by its credit points (units of credit), then divided by the total credit points. A 12-credit-point unit therefore influences your WAM twice as much as a 6-credit-point unit.

What is the difference between the default and Monash schemes?

The default scheme (UNSW, UTS and the general University of Sydney method) weights each unit by its credit points only, with no year-level multiplier. The Monash scheme additionally weights first-year units at 0.5 and later-year (second-year and above) units at 1.0, so your later results count for more. Use the scheme your university publishes.

Are failed units included?

Yes — failed units are included at their actual mark (for example 46), not as zero. Zeroing a fail is GPA behaviour, not WAM. (UNSW does count an Absent Fail, “AF”, as a mark of 0, so if you have one, enter that unit with a mark of 0.) Only enter units with a numeric mark; exclude transfer credit and Satisfactory / Pass-only grades.

Is WAM the same as GPA?

No. WAM is a weighted average mark out of 100; GPA is a point on a 7.0 (or 4.0) scale built from grade bands. They answer different questions, and any WAM-to-GPA conversion is indicative only because every institution publishes its own, often non-linear, mapping.

Why do the grade-band cut-offs differ?

They vary by university. The NSW convention used by UNSW, UTS and the University of Sydney sets High Distinction at 85 and above, while Monash sets it at 80. The band labels shown here are the common convention for each scale and may differ at your institution; they are display-only and do not affect the WAM.
