With the new scale readjustment, what exactly is that average SHELF score across the country for the academic year? Is there a subject specific average along with an overall average? Several years ago, 70 was the mean. What is it now?

Someone tossed the number 78 as the national average, which seems extraordinarily high and doesn't make much sense. For instance, I got a 78 on Peds, which translated to 60 percentile. And a 75 on FM (with MSK), which was 64th percentile.
