I thought i was the only one who found listening lil tough compared to previous one but many found it to be tricky...hmm kinda fast i would say...less time to go thru questions in sec 2 n 3 before speakers started....
Same happened with me....i gave on 6th jan n it was easy...got LRW as 8.5/8/7...but was so nervous during speaking...n examiner some serious indian teacher...strange...n marked me at 6.5
