Hi KrystalClear,
There is no physical difference between the EAL and English papers.
The difference lies in two main aspects:
1) The exams are marked to a different standard. That means examiners will take into concern that fact that EAL students do not use English as their first language. Also, there are some differences in exam criteria, especially in the Language Analysis, where EAL students do not have to write an intro or conclusion.
2) Your cohort is different. You will only be marked against the rest of the people who do the same exam. That means EAL students often face easier competition. However, it is hard to score over 45 if you are not fluent in the English language, as a percentage of EAL students, despite studying EAL, are.
All the best!
