Partly true. The microlight tests also have a different syllabus in areas such as what Cosgrove dubbed micro-meteorology and in the theory of flexwing aerodynamics and control. I'm not sure that theory of 2-stroke engines appears in JAR PPL exams either.
When preparing for my microlight written exams I used a set of standard PPL practice tests. I found I was scoring over 80% even having just studied the microlight syllabus and applying a bit of common sense to the rest. So I doubt they're that much more difficult.
