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.

"2000 was the new barrier to break for bragging rights."

I got a 2230. I was in the top 25% in the SAT II tests as well. The SAT doesn't really mean anything. Its all about gaming the system; knowing which ones to skip, picking answers by elimination, how long each question should take depending on how close it is to the end of the section... I spent a couple weeks beforehand studying the probability that any given answer choice would be the correct one (I recall that D and E are the most common, I think?).

And I've since discovered that the SAT is nothing like tests in college. And I'm sure tests in college have nothing to do with reality.
