Is japanese driver license test becoming harder?

So I failed my driving license test 2nd time ,the policeman told me that I should've been more close to left side of the road when turning left. Which I keep reminding myself and tried as best without bumping left side of the car.
There were 5 participants and none of us passed exam.
At the end they wanted us to call and get new info on writing tests on October 1st(my writing exam would've expire on November)since the system is changing. And then we get new info, schedule new driving tests after we pass. So back to the beginning.
I thought I did well on this time ,making all the "kakunin" dramatically, but failed. So I'm wondering they are being more strict about it since systems changing? Or I'm being delusional, and being left side of the road was enough to decrease my points by 30?
Anyone passing exams these days?
