GARP FRM Practice Exams vs FRM real exam for part 1

Someone said “ The GARP FRM Practice Exams are easier than the real exams. ” Is it true?

I will do part 1.

On the GARP website, the following statement implies that GARP FRM Practice Exams are as difficult as the real exam. They should be equally difficult. 2013 FRM Practice Exams Based on a sample of questions from the 2010 through 2012 FRM Exams, these Practice Exams are representative of the questions that will be in the May 2013 FRM Exam. http://www.garp.org/frm/study-center/practice-exams.aspx

I don’t think its a myth.

Judging from the many posts over time from candidates that have taken the exams. Some do claim that the level of difficulty isn’t consistent. This is however very subjective and therefore hard to analyse.
