The weightings for raw marks are dependent on what your school allocates them as. You need to ask your school.

As for it's impact on the HSC, well, you get a moderated assessment mark, so gaining as many raw marks is important, but also performing well in the HSC is paramount. So, of course you can get 90+ ATAR. An average mark at your school may be the highest mark in another or the lowest mark in another. Only the HSC will differentiate between school papers and marking, so you need to capitalise on marks in order to maximize your chances of being in a good position going into the HSC.
