cie is I think, except that edexcel is easier. There are more exam papers, more students, textbooks for cie than edexcel.

Its not like that Edexcel 'A' Level is very very easy. There is a very minute difference between the difficulty level of both. It highly depends on the way you study.

No 'A' Levels is easier. You always have to work very hard to achieve good grades in 'A' Levels otherwise people always end up getting poor results.

Let me put this way. In Edexcel Chem and Phy there is NO practical exam. In CIE there is.

It isnt hard to do the practicals but people are prone to mess ups.

Additionally CIE theory papers are more application based. You have to have VERY strong foundations.
