Are you referring to the +/- signs? like how under "Verbal" for 2008, it says "380 +/- 74"

One interpretation is that the average Verbal score in 2008 was 380, and the +/- (plus or minus) 74 indicates some sort of range. +/- can mean a bunch of things, but you might interpret this one as a the standard deviation in scores.

But without more information, like whether these are scores accepted, scores received, etc. it's hard to say much else. Note that these scores are all prior to 2011, so they are in the old system (scores range from 200 to 800 in the old system).
