The new scoring is simple they added a new 800 point section. The confusing part is they changed the way it is scored in 1995. I think they ended up inflating the point value by about 50 points. I was trying to find a listing of percentile scores to see how many people in the U.S. Kat scored highr than. That was the one that always helped me out. But then I was the dumb guy in my group and all my friends scored higher than me. But I was still better than 85% of the country.
Yeah, the rebalancing really throws comparisons off. Especially since it's, of course, not simply a scaling upward, but rather a refitting of the curve, so the effects aren't that simple. I've heard a rumor that that wasn't the first time they rebalanced things, either.
