Difference between unrated and rated puzzle difficulty?

I was just messing around with 3200-3600 rated puzzles in the custom puzzles section, and was solving many of them within 2-4 minutes despite not really focusing. Then I go to rated puzzles and lose 50 points in 6 puzzles. These puzzles were supposedly rated 2600. Same thing has happened countless times, robbing my puzzle rating of 3221. Is there a fundamental difference between rated and unrated puzzles, or is there something else going on?

The selection algorithm is probably different between the two but the puzzles are all part of the same database
