Even a very easy problem looks difficult when it's presented as a test.
The testing hours must be under some magic spell that makes any problems appear as difficult ones.

You know, this is a very wise comment. It is strange how when we know we are being tested on something suddenly we seem to forget even simple things. It is sort of like what we call stage fright--when you have to do something in front of an audience and suddenly don't remember what.
Here are some little corrections:
Even a very easy problem looks difficult when it is (instead of they) presented as a test. (or you could say something like "Even very easy problems look difficult when they are presented as a test")
And:
The testing hours must be under some magic spell that makes any problems appear as difficult ones (instead of "to be seen as a difficult one") (or you could perhaps say "each problem appear as a difficult one").
In these it is a question of matching the verbs to your nouns; if you have one thing (a problem) then the verb that goes with it needs to be singular. Does this make sense to you? (I know English is an odd language, partly because bits and pieces of our grammar came from other languages. It doesn't even always make sense to me!)
