The test is the same everywhere - there are no differences in different cities or countries across the world.

Changes have been made since last year, but I would not say that the test has gotten objectively tougher in the last year. Tests like this are always under development. Depending upon your strengths and weaknesses, any particular change (an emphasis on different topics, for example) might help you or hurt you. There are never *major* changes, though, in a short period of time - otherwise, it wouldn't qualify as a standardized test anymore.
