Raw marks =/= the marks you get from HSC.
Your advisor is probably more accurate than you putting raw marks into dah calculator.

Re: Atar Calculator (ONLINE) vs Advisor vs Estimate (BOS - Forum) - English Bands (

An ATAR calculator i s very accurate when dealing with final marks - its useless for providing an estimate off non-moderated marks. As for human estimate (whether from an advisor or on BOS) is also unreliable as they are often inaccurate. This is mainly because there is no definitive way of converting ranks into an ATAR. A human estimate can however give you a general idea as to what you might get.
