I am not entirely familiar with the old format. Can anyone write a small summary on the major changes and significance of these?

It's basically 80 marks up from 70 marks, and questions split into two sections of 40. It sounds like the question style will be the same as usual, but that one lot of 40 will be scenario-based. The single big 10-marker will be in the non-scenario section.
