Standardisation in new test

Has anyone been able to draw any correlation at all between the standardised scores in the new test and under the old GL Assessment tests?

I know the guidance is that 121 is apparently the only point at which the scores can be compared.

I was very surprised to hear that the scores last year ranged from 0 to 200+.

There was far too much "bunching" of scores around the qualification mark under the old system, but it's hard to get your head around the new scores.

Apologies if this has been discussed / answered elsewhere.

On the basis of information volunteered so far, I'm getting the impression that the raw score needed for a standardized score of 121 is somewhere around the two-thirds mark, i.e. around 65% plus or minus depending on exact age - but this is very much a "guestimate" and I would welcome any other ideas!
