No, it’s still 1600.

Here’s an article describing how it was “recentered” in 1995.

The new tests were made in 2005, when the 2400 scale came into play. I remember because I got an 1860, and that meant nothing to adults and older people and I had to convert it to a 1600 scale number. 2000 was the new barrier to break for bragging rights.

Apparently minor adjustments were made in late 2008, but I was in college then.
