Yeah, and there have been other minor adjustments along the way (and I didn't even take the SAT - I took the ACT, which has a similar story). With the dramatic uptick in people going to University, even during and after the 90s, it was in College Board's and ACT's interest to inflate the scores.

For sure if you took the test(s) in the 90s* they were harder than they are now, but I suspect there has been some additional inflation creep along the way.

Edit:

Holy Cow! This table shows that the percentage of students taking the ACT who achieved a perfect score increased by two orders of magnitude from 1997 to 2014: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACT_(test)#Highest_score

Man, I really had no idea how right I was. They took away the guessing penalty from the SAT and reduced the choices from 5 to 4: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/grade-point/wp/2016/05/1...
