Education & Reference - 18 September 2006

Why is it that the average SAT score is a 1385, while the average ACT score is a 30? There seems to be something off there. Do they not care about the SAT at Wellesley? I've read they really want the ACT. It seems funny that people are getting a 30 (which is good in my opinion) on the ACT and then only 1300 on the SAT (the average is 1500 and top notch schools like Yale, etc. want around 2000).
Does a 30 on the ACT correspond to a 1300 on the SAT?

"The Web empowers anyone with an opinion and a modem to act as a publisher, so you need to be very cautious about who created the sites you visit and whether the information they contain is biased or even baseless (Jacobson & Cohen, 1997)."

A general rule for those climbing more than 7000 feet above sea level is to allow a total of (a - 7000/2000 + 2) weeks of camping during the ascension. In this expression, "a" represents the altitude in feet. If a group of mountain climbers have allowed for 9 weeks of camping in their schedule, how high can the climb without worrying about altitude sickness?
