Hi,
Well both require equal amount of hard work, concentration and dedication. It is not about which is easy and which is tough, just gear up your 100% efforts in order to successfully crack the examination in one go.
You may sit for any of the boards and apply for any discipline, and for the same, I would like to say that there are some things that you should bear in mind before you appear for the exams. They are:
*Read your notes and practice writing it down everyday.

*Studying sample papers of the preceding years will help you stay informed about the syllabus as well as the latest changes in the question pattern.
