Frequently Asked Questions
How is the Australian 7.0 GPA scale calculated?↓
Australian universities calculate GPA on a 7.0 scale using the formula: GPA = Σ(Credit Points × Grade Points) ÷ Σ(Credit Points). The standard grade points are: High Distinction (HD = 7), Distinction (D = 6), Credit (C = 5), Pass (P = 4), and Fail (F = 0).
What is the difference between GPA and WAM in Australia?↓
GPA uses discretized grade point bands (7, 6, 5, 4, 0), while WAM (Weighted Average Mark) uses your actual numerical percentages (e.g. 78.4% WAM) weighted by the subject’s credit points.
What is a good GPA at an Australian university?↓
