Independent of the substantive changes, the recentering also made scores, especially verbal scores, go up. The test was originally designed to have a score of 500 reflect the 50th percentile, but the 50th percentile had fallen to the low 400's. (This was probably due to a larger group of students taking the test, rather than a more select/elite group, as had been the case in the 1960's.) Recentering put the 50th percentile back in the 500s.
Ah. Clearly my memory was totally wrong!
