No, they *must* use the Normative Update software, which made some major changes, including some which may push the broad achievement clusters downwards. I've seen it happen, and went several rounds with the company and the test authors to figure out why it was happening. If it happens in this case, then the person writing the report needs to explain why that happened (have them contact me if they're not sure why it did) and make a thoughtful recommendation for how the scores should be interpreted.
