Do the clauses go together

I don't know if the 2 clauses go together well. Why would you start with as difficult as? Is there a good reason to?

As difficult as yesterday's test was, todays test was easy.

Thanks

When I use 'as ___ as' I mean that I'm willing to admit something: As beautiful as she may be, I don't think she will win the crown. As intelligent as he may be, he really shouldn't pontificate so much. I don't really like to eat Brussels sprouts, as healthful as they may be.
