What is a raw weighted mark? When BOS calculates your mark for a subject, do they use the 'raw mark' or 'raw weighted mark'?

Particular sections of an exam scale differently with regard to their relative difficulties, and so your raw mark will be scaled in accordance to the difficulty of your chosen sections (e.g. scaling of different essay questions in English or different option topics in the sciences), this is your "raw weighted mark" and it is the mark that is considered for the calculation of your final mark for a subject.

Eventually is that what becomes known as our "HSC Mark"?
Because when we get our results there is Assessment mark; Exam mark; and finally HSC Mark...

and so for us when we estimate ATARs it's off the "HSC Mark"?

Hope that made sense.

Your HSC mark is made up of the exam and assesment mark. The exam mark is the raw mark after it has been through the aligning process and the assesment mark is determined by the ranks, relative gaps between ranks and your cohorts performance in the HSC exam for that subject.
