I'd actually say full marks for 3u...
I say 98%+ because the format has changed and it's very possible that some students will be throw off by the MC for some reason.

So essentially 1 mark lost = State Rank lost.

Biology would probably be around ~92% considering that Chemistry is around 88% and Physics is around 90%. That's just an assumption but it seems quite reasonable.

Maths Extension 1 is generally 83+/84 in the externals for the old format. It should be very close to 100% for the new format.

The same goes for 2U - probably 119+/120 but the new format might change the mark slightly but still expect almost or at 100%.

Low 90s iirc for business (92 or 93 was first I think)

Holy shit. Turns out that what my friend said about 60-65 getting 92-93 scaled in Chem was probs true.

You need around ~72 raw to get 90. To get around 92-93 HSC, you'd need around 80 raw.
Would you say that an 80 Raw at school is 92-93 IF a school generally gets ~30 band 6's in Chem?

And do you have any idea for Economics?

If it helps, I was sitting on 72% after the half yearly and ended up with 86. I can't remember what my final school mark was (and I've lost my report), but it'd be high 70s/low 80s because I improved significantly in the second half. I think you'd be looking at ~85 raw for a 92-93 to be honest.

Depends more on your rank than your mark.
A rank of approximately 12-13? Would that translate to a 93 for Chem in a school that always gets ~30-35 Band 6's in Chem with a state rank in maybe 4 of the past 6 years.
