Math GRE

Well,the practice book gives the conversion scale used in 1997,and in those days(in pre-Oct 1,2001 era),the Math GRE used to be different.It was NOT Mathematics(Rescaled Test).And there is some information about "forms" in page 7 of that booklet,in which the (1,1)th entry of the first matrix is 900.By the way,do you know that in those "good old days",18% of the candidates used to get 990(=99%)?(source:MAth GRE rescaled booklet,page 3).I am not sure whether the upper bound now is 900 or 990,or whether that depends on the "form" you get.
