Less points from chess tactics

Is it just me or has getting a chess tactic right giving you a lot less points? I remember a few days ago you got 7 points, now just 1 or 2.

rowsweep, try repeating puzzles. Take a set of puzzles (a few hundred to a thousand at a time), and then go through them 7 times (de la Maza's Seven Circles method).  This will ingrain those patterns into your long term memory.  This is more effective than just doing a bunch of random puzzles with no repetition.

The number of points you get for a puzzle depends on the difficulty of the puzzle and how long you take to solve it compared to other people.
