The Japanese time zone is GMT+9 so they're 9 hours ahead of us (not 9 hours behind us). For instance if it's midnight here, it's 9AM there. So yes, I would assume they would sit their exams before us.

So why are all the whiny gits complaining about edexcel letting internationals sit the papers first.
Wouldn't the americas be the only ones who have it after uk.

I dont get why everybody is getting worked up over edexcel, there's been educational reforms recently and the exams got harder as a result, there was never anything in the exams which you shouldn't have already known

They keep combining different areas in their questions though.
I thought the papers were made 2 years in advance, so is it just coincidental that they are getting harder,
Edexcel are trying to overtake cie in exam difficulty imo

In one way though it seems that if they had taken it early they would have got easier papers as a result.

As far as I'm aware, different time zones get different papers?

not according to that gcse maths thread.

And as far as I know, all IALs are done at the same time, in different time zones.

Well, for the A levels starting from 2014 IAL papers were introduced and the questions are different from the GCE papers. I'm an international student and I do the IALs.

Do you have any idea why the IAL papers are way harder than the normal papers? I've been using them for revision and they're like a whole other level...

I don't find them significantly more difficult, and the specifications are pretty much the same except we do alternative to practical papers instead of the actual experiments. (We do have lab classes with partners/in groups, but there isn't enough equipment to conduct exams separately for each student, I guess.)
And as much as I hate our school management, most of the teachers are pretty great and we get excellent notes usually.
The only subject I find more difficult in a way is Mathematics, only because the Core Modules are joint papers examined as C12 and C34.

The only IAL papers I've seen are Mathematics, I don't know about the sciences. All of the M2, M3, FP2 and FP3 IAL papers I've seen are sooo much harder than the normal papers.

Well, at least it's all good practice for you!
