Comment on Converting SAT scores to ATAR by Chaeleen Hong

Chaeleen Hong — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 06:18:04 +0000

I don’t really understand the score change…
I recieved a score of 1760 and took two AP classes.
How would that be converted? what about the GPA, I got around 3.8
The university won’t exactly tell me the converted ATAR score.
Could you sum it up for me?

For what it is worth, here is another radio station which seems to have escaped your most useful list, 2WS: http://flash.arn.com.au/wsfm.html

You might not remember me, but you are in fact the bastard who hooked me on computing, back in the days before it was fashionable!

Steve, I can suggest an excellent book that you may have seen? Gerald M. Weinberg's book on consulting have been an inspiration to me. Secrets of Consulting: A Guide to Giving and Getting Advice Successfully

Hi David;
I am involved in a 5 person IT consultancy. We’re a reseller for a major software vendor and most of our business is training and consulting. Most of us here are pretty inexperienced and most of the consultant dilemmas that we’ve encountered have turned out badly. One would think that there would be a blog titled “Top 10 consultant’s dilemmas” and how to handle them but I find nothing like that. The above quote is from the organisation development world. Any suggestions for an IT person?
