How the average is calculated
GPA — For each subject, the numeric value of the grade obtained is multiplied by the point value of the subject. The sum of the figures thus obtained is then divided by the sum of the point values of the subjects.
There is no CGPA→percentage conversion at this or any Australian university. A WAM is already a percentage; a GPA is a band collapse and cannot be reversed. See why.
