WAM Fundamentals
How WAM is calculated, credit points, transcripts, semester averages, and milestone bands.
Weighted Average Mark is the headline number on most Uni transcripts — but the formula catches students off guard. First-year units count at half weight in official WAM, credit points change how much one subject moves your average, and semester WAM differs from cumulative degree WAM. Guides in this category walk through the maths step by step, explain how to read WES exports, and show when to use semester vs cumulative calculators. Start here if you are new to Uni grading or need to reconcile a manual calculation with WES.
