No, they are not!
In fact, difficulty level has fallen in a decade or so, just see the papers in the 90s or even early 2000s!

it's difficult only if you believe it appears to be so and the only way to tackle that problem is to have a STRONG fighting spirit! a spirit to get good grades and make your parents proud! come on! they're not that tough or that bad, just read the ms over and over and understand what they're trying to tell you, it's not that hard. then close the ms and try to do it on your on DO NOT COPY OR MEMORISE THE MS that will certainly not help you. to be able to get after what you have worked hard for is better than copying something you don't understand = A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME. hope that helps

I believe the Quality of CIE is degrading, and A-levels is also losing its status, to International Bacculerate .

Well I guess you guys are pretty brilliant then......not me I just really struggle to get my A*/A...............I repeated chem in nov. I had to, didnt really study well, I was friggin depressed. got highest school for chem 88% and i have no idea why a D in practical. 85% in phy with a C in practical ( still no idea why).
To me they have started becoming difficult. Just look at the november 2011 papers....I mean I can solve it but I still keep on losing points.
What raw marks do you get in your A2 components of chem, bio and physics? In P5 I get around 25ish.............I keep on missing points( damn) bio P4 around 81 to 85
chem and phy i havent really gave full exams yet........but I solved a lot of papers. Back in 2007 to may 2011, the Qps were really easy.
It didnt happen to me in Olevels but I often get phsically tired and my brain feel sooo sluggish.........I was depressed for almost one and half year...still am a little
But i dont why all of a sudden studying seem so hard
anyways you guys tell about yourselves

Quality of the other A Level boards is actually degrading. CIE has to fall aswell as a response. It's still the hardest exam board though compared to others like Edexcel and AQA which are a joke.

I think the A2 Physics papers (especially paper 4) are really difficult...!

 

[Muffy94]
