Is it easier to get this level score now? Years ago would have been unheard of to think more than a couple kids even of those going Ivies to get this. Has test changed enough that more realistic for more to get this score?[/quote]

The test has changed several times.  The current SAT is "easier" to score higher than say 30+ years ago (think late 80s/early 90s).  You can typically add 100-140 to your score from then to get "a current day score".

What has also changed is that way more people do test prep now.  Way more take the test multiple times.  
I recall taking SAT once and ACT once (and nobody in my HS took ACT, I did since I was applying to schools that preferred it).  Your main prep was the PSAT and sharpening your #2 pencils and printing directions so you could find the testing location

Nowadays, test prep is available online for free, and many more people can afford to pay for it as well.
