Hey,
So I have heard from a friend that the International A-Levels are harder than the ones sat in the UK? Is this true, or this just completely wrong?

I have heard this about CIE International A-Levels, not about Edexcel International A-Levels.

Sorry I just remembered there is more than one kind of A-Level in the UK. I'm from New Zealand where they only offer CIE. So yeah, CIE International A-Levels.

Oh that is lame. Harder A-Levels but the same entry requirements is hardly fair.

Yeah. the only impression you give to the admission tutors is something like, "oh, this kid is doing harder a-levels", but that does not give you any particular advantages over your university application. There really isn't any point in doing something harder, except it prepares you (better) for university.
