What they say it is true. Even the advanced questions are not that difficult. Real L1 exam questions are more conceptual, hence trickier, and the calculus ones are straight forward (most of them).
The exam questions have a different feel because those are questions you have under some amount of stress that day. If you search for posts right after the June 6th exams, you’ll find pretty interesting discussions over the Q in the exam. As a matter of fact, even before that date, you’ll find discussions over the questions in the mock and sample exams that the CFAi provided. Those were more like the real exam, but way harder/more difficult than those on the June 6th exam.
