Australian University Calculators — GPA, WAM & entry.

This page has several tools. You can work out your GPA and your WAM. You can use scales for UNSW, USYD, Monash and Melbourne. You can also turn your ATAR into a selection rank. And you can add bonus points.

A GPA is a grade-point average on a set scale, often 7 points. A WAM is your weighted average mark, as a percentage. WAM uses your actual marks. GPA turns marks into grade points first.

No. Most use a 7-point GPA. But the mark bands differ. For example, Monash gives a High Distinction from 80%. Melbourne uses H1 and H2 grades. So check your own university’s scale.

Your ATAR is your rank against other Year 12 students. Your selection rank is your ATAR plus bonus points. Universities use the selection rank to offer places. So it is usually higher than your ATAR.

A GPA averages grade points on a 7-point scale. A WAM averages your actual marks, weighted by subject size. A WAM keeps more detail, and many universities prefer it.

Most use a 7-point scale, but grade bands differ. A High Distinction is 85 at UNSW and 80 at Monash. Always read the scale before comparing two GPAs.

It is your ATAR plus any bonus points, such as subject or equity adjustments. Universities select on this rank, not your raw ATAR. It is capped at 99.95.
