Wanted to know how hard it is these days to score a distinction.
Score For A1 And A2

Since 2008, many schools are telling their students that the score for A1 is 92%. In other words, you need a total of 165 marks if paper 1 is 80 marks and paper 2 is 100 marks.
At
Singapore Math Chinese Tutor, we find this generally true for Maths & Science paper.
A2 is also quite stringent for some subjects. The cutoff is around 80% or higher.

What I know for last year's Emaths, 70 plus - C5, 88 - B3, 2 mistakes - A2.
Combined Science, around 80 - B3.

How hard or how easy, I think depends on the subject. The main subjects :
National average % of distinctions (A) at O levels for Express students:
ENGLISH
21.9
LITERATURE
41.9
COMBINED HUMANITIES
30.2
GEOGRAPHY
49.3
MATHEMATICS D
55.8 (i.e. majority of the candidates get A. Certainly doesn't look like you need to get anywhere near 90% !!)
ADDITIONAL MATHEMATICS
52.1
PHYSICS
41.2
CHEMISTRY
40.2
BIOLOGY
44.1
SCIENCE
(PHY/CHEM)
38.8
SCIENCE
(CHEM/BIO)

Any other subject you want to know?
