Your WAM is the average of your unit marks weighted by credit points: a 12-point unit counts twice as much as a 6-point one. Many Australian universities use WAM for honours entry, scholarships and graduate programs.
The calculator also gives your GPA on the 7-point scale (HD 7, D 6, C 5, P 4, F 0). Some universities weight later-year units more heavily.

WAM 81.
Around 65+ is a Credit average; 75+ (Distinction) is often needed for honours and competitive graduate jobs.
WAM averages the actual marks; GPA averages grade points, so 75 and 84 both count as 6.
At most universities yes, at the mark received; some exclude units you later passed.
Commonly 80 or more in the honours year, but it varies by university and faculty.
