This table consists of all raw band cut-offs that can be derived from the available raw marks. Raw marks, including raw band cut-offs, cannot be compared between courses. Comparisons across years can yield an indication of the relative difficulties of examination papers.
Does this information confuse you at all? Consult the Board's explanations (see below), and then tell us!
General information and background surrounding the aligning of marks:

Details of the aligning process itself:
http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/hsc/hsc_update_2002_06.html
(Aligning has nothing to do with the scaling procedures used for the UAI.)
15 September 2004: Updated with accurate ranges for cut-offs. Ranges are inclusive of endpoints. There are no longer any approximations.
