SAT Score Change?

I was perusing the winter copy of my alma mater's alumni magazine when I came across this bit of info about the class of 2014:

Mean SAT score: 2004

What?

2004?

When did the scoring limit change to 2400?

Now, grant it, I don't run the education circuit but you would have thought I might have heard about this.

According to Wikipedia, this change happened in 2005. 

Also, according to Wikipedia, "SAT" is an "empty acronym" meaning it doesn't stand for anything. 

Who knew?

I am glad I haven't been parading my score in front of today's high school set.
