Yes, prelims are usually seen as harder than the actual exam because you'll only have covered around half of the course, but they still make a full paper out of only this, so they have to put in more specific and difficult questions to fill the space with.

I'm in S6 (so I've sat exams for two years) and most of the time the prelims my school has are slightly harder than the final exam ends up being. Don't rely on that and not bother studying for your final exams though lol.
