What is the Differnce between Paper 2 and 3 GCSE maths

Hi
I was wondering what the difference between paper 2 and 3 in the new GCSE spec. They are both calculator papers but I always find paper 2 harder than 3. So what is the difference?
Thanks,
Paddy Davison

There is supposed to be no difference, any topic can appear on any paper and the balance of assessment objectives would be about the same on all papers. If there appears to be a difference in the practice/mock papers you have done then it's just how it's worked out for you.
