C'est difficile ... Il est dur

Could you please explain why C'est and Il est seem interchangeable when in the lesson 'C'est vs il/elle est: saying it is/she is he is' these expressions have separate uses depending on context. Thank you.

about subjunctiveI encountered this sentence: Si intelligent soit-il, il ne pourra réussir ce concours étant donné son peu de préparation. Is this another way of creating a sentence with subjunctive? Thank you very much.

Trois sixièmes ou un demiI appreciate that exercise is showing how to write fractions. However, do they actually say "trois sixièmes" instead of "un demi" in everyday life?

Why faillir de rater rather than presque rater?

Faillir de (rater, for example) is being used. I have no problem with this usage, but wonder why presque is not used at all -- e.g., j'ai presque rate as an alternative to j'ai failli rate. Just curious. Thanks!
