Is MIT course much different from MIT OpenCourseWare? I am curious, because as a high schooler, I have some intent to study from MIT OpenCourseWare.

Will this allow me to be more comfortable if I am admitted to MIT?

Also, how is MIT courses so different from other places? I heard that the course is hard..

I think this is actually off topic here; it's about education, not specifically physics. But if others also agree that it is off topic, we could try migrating it to Academia. – David Zaslavsky♦ Sep 23 '12 at 0:12
I have to agree with @DavidZaslavsky that this is off topic. That is not to say that it isn't a good question, just that it does not belong here. In addition to a possible migration you could find some question to answer to get you up to 20 rep and take it to chat. Indeed people could answer you in chat right now, you just won't be able to post yourself. Personally I have always found that I learn deeper and often more on subsequent passes over the same material, without much reference to exactly how the presentation compare. – dmckee♦ Sep 23 '12 at 1:51
