A mark that has undergone alignment is the one that's reported on your HSC certificate. All marks need to undergo alignment to cater for the fact that in some years the course is harder than in other years (notably, the final exam).
The raw marks database displays the raw marks students achieved in the exam, alongside the mark post alignment. Note that these raw marks need to be bought.
A team of 'judges' decide on the alignment algorithms every year.

Yea, true. ATAR calculators don't really change anything for your actual ATAR, it is just a good thing to "know".
katnisschung:
Would you say putting in your year 11 marks are a fairly
accurate representation of what you are going to receive for your atar.
I was pretty slack in year 11 studying like i did in junior years (basically writing
my notes the night before and didn't touch practice papers)
i put my year 11 marks in and got an atar of 82 ish but aiming for +90
I've definitely changed my mindset for year 12 and have been
doing much more work and practice papers.
Do year 11 results show a reflection of your ATAR or are they irrelevant?
advice?

In my opinion, Year 11 results should do nothing more than indicate subjects where more work is needed.
Especially in your case, they clearly don't represent the work you are going to put in this year. For that reason, your Year 11 results won't be reflected in your ATAR, provided you are working hard to improve them ;D
Also keep in mind that Year 11 results aren't included in calculating your HSC results in any way, shape or form. :)

katnisschung, that is a very good question, but that depends on if all the same factors are the same.
If effort, family environment, etc are all the same maybe.... But rarely are things the same.
Since you were pretty slack in year 11 towards study, I'd say it is not representative. Just write your year 11 mark off.
*Year 11 marks do not contribute towards your atar at all*
