So 179 and 180 are just entirely unused in the new system?

You’d think that no matter how weird of a mapping they decide to use, it’d at least preserve the endpoints…

I believe they percentile-mapped it. Like that guy, I too got a full score on Mathematics (it's very easy) and that was p96 when I took it so I bet I got downscored too. I would almost certainly have been full score if it had had the tougher questions.
