Personally, I have never believed it is a 50/50 weighting of school assessment mark and HSC exam external mark.
To me it just seems like whatever mark you get in the actual HSC exam is either lowered or brought up by a couple of marks depending on whether your internal mark was higher or lower than your exam mark and that is your final HSC mark for that particular subject.
For example, for legal studies, a friend of mine got a mark of 64 for school assessment, and then a mark of 89 in externals somehow equates to a mark of 84. And for Studies of Religion, an internal of 65 and an exam mark of 92 is equal to a final mark of 91.
In that case it matters very little about ATAR estimates as there is no true way of telling how a certain student will perform on the day, right?
Lets hear BOS thoughts on this, if I am completely right or you disagree?
