How to Convert GPA To WAM

This calculator converts your GPA into a WAM-style percentage by using a simple proportional method: it compares your GPA to your maximum GPA scale, then maps it onto a WAM maximum (usually 100).

GPA to WAM Formula

WAM (estimated) = ( GPA ÷ GPA scale max ) × WAM max

Tip: Most Australian universities report WAM on a 0–100 scale, but some programs may calculate WAM differently (weighting by credit points, level, or course rules). Always verify with your university’s policy.

Example: GPA To WAM Conversion

Here’s a quick example to understand the GPA to WAM calculation:

  • GPA: 3.6
  • GPA scale max: 4.0
  • WAM max: 100

Estimated WAM = (3.6 ÷ 4.0) × 100 = 90
