Red face Medicals? help!!

Hello everyone.
I've started flying very recently (4 hours logged) and before that I made sure I did a medical before starting ANY flying.
I'm 16 and I'm new to this whole flying thing. I booked a 'medical' I told them it was my first time and they just booked me in for a class 2 medical.
I did the medical and passed it.
Now what I am really concerned about is, if I can pass the class 1?
For example, the class 2 medical had some eye tests like colour blindness and all that...
Does the class 1 medical go into more deeper tests with the eye colour sight?
I passed the class 2 medical eye stuff pretty easily.
I also heard there are hearing test. My hearing is fine, I have no problems with hearing but how hard is it to pass the hearing tests in a class 1? My blood is fine, I do not have any diseases or anything, does that mean I pass the blood test?
I want to make sure I am physically capable of flying before firing my money away!
Thanks for reading this very long post and helping me out!
