Nope, don't listen to those laymen that do not know anything. O-Levels/IGCSE/GCSE/GCE-O/USA High School Diploma ARE EASIER than SPM. BUT SPM CAN have a lower marking scheme depending on the annual results. Topics and syllabus covered in O-Levels/IGCSE/GCSE/GCE-O/USA High School Diploma are more GENERAL than SPM which is more IN DEPTH. For example Chemistry, O-Levels/IGCSE/GCSE/GCE-O/USA High School Diploma Chemistry only covers up to the General concepts for Organic Compounds chapter whereas in SPM, we learn until Alkene, Alkane, Alkyl etc for Organic Compounds chapter which are MORE IN DEPTH and are equivalent to Matriculation/A-Levels/Diploma. Don't believe me? Take A-Levels, Diploma or Matriculation after your SPM, you will literally re-learn everything that you have learned during SPM because SPM went too deep. My lecturers even told me that SPM was harder than O-Levels/IGCSE/GCSE/GCE-O/USA High School Diploma that he sent his children to do O-Levels/IGCSE/GCSE/GCE-O/USA High School Diploma instead. Then with all the notion that SPM will be fully KBAT/Critical-Thinking by 2020 and the implementation started since 2013, it makes SPM A LOT harder than it is right now.
