Hm. A quick look around finds this which says that raw scores are standardized by forcing them to the mean of 100 and the standard deviation of 15.

This is a linear transformation and it does not fit anything to a gaussian distribution.

Of course this is just stackexchange -- do you happen to have links to how "proper" IQ test are supposed to convert raw scores into IQ points?
