Essentially yeah! The aligned mark compensates for difficult exams, different options, exams that aren't marked out of 100 (etc etc), it almost always goes up from what your raw mark was! Check out this page for more info :)

You have a raw examination mark out of 100 like you would in a school exam. Then judge markers determine the band cutoffs between a 5-6,4-5 etc. For example, lets say the raw mark cutoff for a band 6 in a certain subject is 82. If i score a raw mark of 82/100, my examination mark for the HSC will become 90( the band 6 cutoff). Lets say u score slightly higher or lower of the band 6 cutoff, ur examination mark will be slightly above or below 90. This work again for every band cutoff and ur mark gets ajusted to what these raw mark cutoffs are. Once this is done, u have you internal assesment mark and you external HSC exam mark which together get averaged to produce a HSC Mark. This is what you put into ATAR Calculators.

Remember also that your internal marks are moderated to reflect the performance of your cohort! That's the tricky bit to estimate :)

Hahaha yeah I agree with you- I remember being so worried and stressing about the complicated ATAR calculation system back when I did my HSC. Best thing I found was to just go into the HSC with the "do your best attitude". Its cheesy I know but that's all anyone can ask of you. You can vanquish HSC!! :)
