However, from what Ive heard, GCEs are harder... I personally took the GCEs and while studying we often used GCSE books and found the examinations and tets in it to be a piece of cake... Personally, I dont even think the GCEs are tough, if youre consistent... I did the same and I got straight As in both O and A levels... I also believe that solving and analyzing the past 10 years examinations helps a great deal... I saw lots of Multiple Choice Questions both in O and A levels that were repeated...

The best thing about Alevels in that you get credit at university level... I got 24 credits for my alevels, and that like more than what we take in one semester at college...
I'm surprised that you think otherwise. When I took O-Levels we were always told that GCSE was harder. And the topic came up a lot too because our college had shifted their affiliations from GCSE at Cambridge to GCE at London. Either way all Levels' systems are quite fantastic and are much better than FSc and Matric.
You are right about the bit that to get good grades in any Levels exam, do lots and lots of old exams. Frankly I found doing old exams more useful than actually doing course coverage. So people who are doing O/A Levels now, do lots of old exams and the A's will be flooding in.
The fact that IGCSEs have a grade higher than A (the A*) makes Grade A a little ummm... below par.
GCSE's are the General Certificate in Secondary Education in the Uk- equivalent of the " o" Levels - the IGCSE's are the International Version that are studied globally
They replaced the O level and were introduced in 1990 afer the Uk educational system was " Reorganised".....they are more modular and therefore coursework weighted.
also note that GCE's (are a-levels ) are studied after GCSE in uk. Thus GCE are meant to be hard than GCSE's
