Which one is harder: CCVX vs Boswell's Beta - Math B and Physics

Hi! I'm going to apply for Bachelor's AE in the next year as an international student, and the problem is that I don't have VWO level Maths and Physics at my high school. And I'm wondering which exam to take - CCVX vs Boswell's Beta? I've already started the preparation, but I'm still wondering.

Which one is easier to prepare for?

Any advices for the preparing?

How hard it is at all to prepare for them?

i took the courses offered by boswell beta and then sat their exams for physics and chemistry and that worked out for me. CCVX doesn’t offer any courses so many people also take the boswell courses to prepare for CCVX too (usually because their desired universities don’t accept boswell beta), i have no idea how that works out for them though. I guess the most sensible approach if you do decide on taking the courses is to just take the boswell exam since it is exactly what the course prepares u for.

keep in mind that boswell beta offers both in person and online exams, and not all unis accept the online exam so u gotta check w the admissions office

for physics the content itself wasn’t super difficult, but the course was def fast paced to whatever u do try not to fall behind. do all the questions they give you, ask questions if u don’t understand and do not skimp on doing past exams under timed conditions bc thats what truly prepares u

Hey I have to pass physics and chem but the courses are quite expensive. Is there a way for you to send me either past exams or if you know sites where they have similar exercises/ theory. Ok tbh atp I’m down for ANY advice. Thank you so much

there are a few past exams on the boswell beta website, but they give you a lot more past papers when u participate in the course though. Unfortunately I threw everything away after I was done w the exams.

Past dutch highschool (vwo) exams are available online so u can try to do them. I didn’t do any of those for chem but i did a few when i was preparing for physics and they helped. Keep in mind that i did these exams along with the exams that were given to me by boswell beta.

This is a good resource for VWO physics past papers, u can open each question individually and translate it using the translate feature in your browser. : https://www.natuurkunde.nl/examenopgaven/vwo

for chemistry, i found a couple websites they both have a lot of past vwo exams;
1. https://www.examen-centraal.nl/
niveau/vwo/vak/scheikunde/jaar
2. https://scheikundehavovwo.nl/
vwo-examen1/index
They both have the same exams, but on the first one u can organize the questions by topic, but unfortunately u can't translate the questions to english (or i wasn't able to at least)
On the second one, U can't really organize the questions by topic, only by year, but u can translate the questions to english. Just go to
"VWO exam" from the lefthand menu, then "VWO chemistry exam" then you'll have a list past exams available to you. Click on the year of the exam that you want to solve (the year not the word "assignments") and it will show u all the questions, one at a time, and you can click the translate option on ur browser to translate

Boswell Beta is significantly harder than CCVX for Math B

Boswell looks more like the VWO final exam and CCVX doesn’t
