I"m looking to get a 61 ATAR to get into the course I want. The situation is I have a very average assessment mark around 50% for English standard, mostly due to me getting a 0 for an assessment an my excuse wasn't accepted.

I know 61 isn't much, but will this really poor assessment mark make it extremely difficult to achieve this score?

Could you disclose your subject ranks and your school's rank?

You're on about 50-60 (Gotta really kill Standard English and Business, rest are okay), if a school rank was given it would be much easier. Try type it on google or go here http://bettereducation.com.au/results/hsc.aspx :)

Im on about 50% assessment mark right now for English but I still have one assessment left for English worth 15% which I hopefully can get near full marks for and boost my ranking. I'm trying to find my school ranking on that link but I keep getting a "The system cannot find the file specified" error.

But just say that these rankings stayed the same what would I need to get in the HSC to get my required ATAR?

To be safe, get atleast top 10 in English, Top 5 in the rest and it should be good enough for a 60-75.
