All the exams have the same difficulty .. June and January are the same .. people say January exams are harder because grade thresholds are slightly higher so its harder to get the grade .. but difficulty in questions are all the same!

And to answer your arabic exam question .. you can always apply for a remark if youre not convinced .. the examiners abroad may mark your papers differently .. your school teachers may help you with some questions .. Arabic is usually easy and arabs get good marks in them so apply for a re-mark.

They are the same, these are just rumors.

Even if they were harder, your marks are in UMS, meaning that they follow a curve, you would likely get the same in both.
