They changed the test; it’s easier now. Previously, there were 20 movable chips per line; the current version has only 8. So the gradations are larger and the way the scoring works (losing points based on distance from the correct place), the maximum score is smaller.

Most likely, anyone that got under 20-30 in the previous version will get a 0 now.

I think this may be the first time I’ve ever gotten a perfect score on anything 🙂
