Weighted Average Mean (WAM) calculator

The weighted average mean (WAM) calculator has been developed to provide staff with a simple tool for assessing applications. The WAM can be used to gain an average of an applicant results using their grades and unit credit value. It enables staff to take into account the weighting of different units at institutions across world in relation to Monash University units.

• The WAM can only be used for applicant transcripts that provide results with a numerical value out of 100.
• If the transcript does not provide information on the weighting of units undertaken and you cannot locate this information, assume that the unit weighting is 1.

• Firstly, decide whether you need to assess an applicant’s final year of study or the full transcript of results. Then click on the appropriate calculator from the options below.
• Enter the applicant’s grades and the unit weighting in the fields provided.
• Click on the ‘Calculate’ to receive your weighted average mean.
