Hey everyone this is a question mainly for uni students but how difficult would it be to get a WAM score of 75 in courses such as Bachelor of Arts or Urban planning. I want to transfer into a double degree for urban planning and law for 2nd year in case my atar is bad and I don't get in with just my atar.

I heard that I should pick subjects at uni that are generally easier for my WAM to go higher but kinda confused on how hard a 75 wam is to achieve.

what is an atar equivalent of 75?

There is no ATAR equivalent of WAM. A key point to remember, subjects can change over time i.e. difficulty could increase or decrease. Another challenge comparing WAM is people do different subjects.

I would personally say 75 is about average. (My opinion regarding STEM degrees) If you do well in first year i.e. figure out to approach your studies, getting 75+ should be easy.
