The marks that are in the hsc mark column are the final marks right?

like there's no more scaling.. aligning.. or other crap which would make the atar estimate wrong

UAC uses your raw marks. The marks you got today have no bearing on your ATAR. HSC marks are not used to calculate your ATAR.

It's true that the UAC uses raw marks to calculate UAI.
But, UAI calculators (SAM, UMAX, JUAI, Einstein etc.) take that into account. They use your HSC marks to estimate a UAI/ATAR, so no fret.

It's calculated on the raw marks that the Board of Studies gives them, including both raw exam marks and raw moderated assessment marks. There's plenty of explanation about this that you can find over in the ATAR forum and on the UAC website.

so we at the moment cant use a calculator with the marks we recieved today because these arent the marks??

Yes, the raw marks we don't officially find out ( you can still get them though) are used to calculate your ATAR. However ATAR/UAI Calcualtors are relatively accurate, as I assume they take this into account. Usually the calculators are within 1 point.
