From my knowledge each q on exam has a specific value according to its difficulty which is understoot from how many people usually answer it right or wrong. So if your exam was tougher it could mean that that each q had more value and so you needed to anwer less q correctly to get the same score you could get with an easier test. In this way every result should be comparable. It's like the handicap in golf, hoping you know how this works...
