Dude, you're right about everything except MX2 and Business Studies: to get Band 6 in Business Studies, you need roughly 89 or 90 out of 100 because heaps of students statewide do the course.
2009 HSC Raw Marks and Alignments

English Advanced [2009]
77.68% RAW -> 90.6%

Economics [2009]
87% RAW -> 93.6

Maths Extension 1 [2009]
83.3% RAW -> 95
67.85% RAW -> 90.4

Business Studies [2009]
76% RAW -> 87.4
81.5% RAW -> 92

I heard business aligns really well, ie. you only need 80-84 to crack a band 6 depending on exam conditions. But it scales poorly :(

My raw marks for 2010 HSC. I did Eng Adv, Ext 1 and 2 Maths, Bio, Chem and Physics.

Summary of marks alignment to performance standards
Biology: 89% raw -> 91% (raw with option scaling) -> 95.2% (95 exam reported)
Chemistry: 74% -> 76% -> 91.4% (91 exam reported)
Physics: 87% -> 87% -> 94.8 (95 exam reported)
English Adv: 66.18% -> 79% -> 84.2% (84 exam reported)
Maths Ext1: 68/84 = 81% raw -> 94.6% (95 exam reported)
Maths Ext2: 79/120 = 65.8% raw -> 91.6% (92 exam reported)

Hence, I deduce:
English (Advanced) - 77/100 (remembering that Paper 1 has 40% weighting not 45/105)
Mathematics Extension One - 57/84
Mathematics Extension Two - 76-77/120
Physics - 75/100
Biology - 80-82/100
Chemistry - 72/100
Business Studies - 79/100
Economics - 80/100

this thread made me feel better about the next 3 months

EDIT: im abit confused. 75% in physics means a 90 HSC mark? and 68% for MX1 is an E4?

Don't feel better just yet because the HSC is generally marked alot harder relative to school. (In some schools that is)

I'm very surprised a raw mark in Business studies for a B6 is less than Economics, I suppose the good aligning despite scaling is true.

Is it just me but how are you meant to know how you will go in raw marks? Because I assume the HSC markers mark more harshly than at school.

Oh well Yr 12, I'll just study hard, have the estimated raw marks up for Band 6/E4 in all my subjects because that's my aim. Band 6/E4 in every subject, though I would still be happy getting mainly Band sixes and one or two high Band5's/E3s.

My school marks harder than HSC, mostly. Well for all my subjects this is true so I'm fine :)

I want 10 units of Band 6/E4. :)

English (Advanced) raw looks deceptively low looking back at my raw estimates.

Wow. This thread makes me feel so good. I always thought band 6 = 90%. This definitely makes me feel much more confident that I will achieve my ATAR goal.

I just realised business studies has a relatively low cut off for band 6 considering its pretty easy but scales pretty terrible compared to eco which has a pretty much same cut off but scales a lot better.
