There is a way to beat a mission on Sniper Elite difficulty while only having to play the mission on Cadet and the last checkpoint as Sniper Elite.
1. Beat a mission on Cadet difficulty.
2. Continue to next mission, then immediately Exit to Main Menu
3. Go to Mission Select and pick the same mission you just beat but select Sniper Elite difficulty.
4. Quit to Main Menu after the mission loads.
5. Quit to dashboard (guide button then hit Y) or turn off the Xbox 360.
6. Restart game and hit continue option in Menu.
7. The mission will load from the last checkpoint on Sniper Elite difficulty. Beat the rest of the mission and get credit for the entire mission on Sniper Elite.
Note: The last checkpoint you load will become Sniper Elite difficulty, so you need to account for bullet drop, wind and you take less damage. But since the last checkpoint is usually close to the end it is fairly easy to beat the end of the mission.

Thank you so much. Only used the videos for the last 2 missions but they are fantastic. Can't believe how quick and easy it made them. Excellent!

This is a short-cut guide based off HonoraryDecoy's solution with a easier to follow format and a video showing each step for those visual learners, like myself, who were having trouble figuring it out. So, kudos to HonoraryDecoy for initially figuring this method out!
Using this guide you will need to play through each of the 11 levels on Cadet difficulty and repeating only the last checkpoint for each level on Sniper Elite difficulty. Having that said, it is possible to do this on your first playthrough. And, all of the levels are incredibly easy from the last c.p. except for one (Kaiser-Friedrich Museum). The rest of the levels you may have to shoot a couple of people or just take cover and run to the end zone.
Here's the link for the video step by step guide:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) From the main menu, select "single player" "mission select" "level ???" "cadet".
2) Play through the whole level till you reach the final c.p.. Then press "select" & "exit game" . ***Note: if you completed the level, just wait till you get the completed stats screen and press "exit game" (do not press continue). You should now be back at the main menu.
3) Select "mission select" "same level" "sniper elite". After the mission starts: press "select button" & "exit game". You are now back at the main menu.
4) Select "single player" & "continue game". Immediately (before the objective screen has time to load) Press the "Xbox button" & "Y" to dashboard out. You are now at the Xbox home screen.
5) Reload the game, select "single player" & "continue game". On the left hand side of the screen you should notice the level & sniper elite difficulty. When the game starts after the objective screen, you will start at the final c.p. for that level.
6) Rinse & repeat the process for the next level.

Has to be done in Single player alone.
You can skip any mission and then jump over to another one. Doesn't have to be done in order. Just complete all of them and the achievement is yours.
A few tips
Make sure to exploit the cover system when in close combat.
You can also shoot enemies from cover, while in third person mode, if you slightly hold the Left Trigger, you can aim whilst you are in third person mode, make sure to use this in cover, and if you are out of ammo for your SMG and pistol. Be careful while doing this, make sure you're rifle is fully loaded and aim for the head, insuring you the kill!
The PP-SH is best when prone and in burst.
The Welrod can be your best friend if you use it properly, always aim for the head.
Always shoot the snipers first. If there is something covering the sound of your shots. Wait it to come and then shoot. Always aim for the head regardless of the weapon you're using
I'd recommend using the Gewehr 43 for all missions, it works well for close combat when you're out of ammo on the PP-SH.
I'd recommend the Colt M1911 for the missions that's not an infiltration mission.
Stack up on trip mines and land mines. You don't need grenades. The mines are more efficient if you want to stay at your position. It will hold them back for a while.
Use cover, go slow. Take em' out on at a time, and shoot the snipers first and this should be a walk in the park for you!
Using any of type of equipment does not disable the achievement. You can use any tools the game gives you.
Spotting enemies with your binoculars is disabled. But does not disable your achievement.
Hope this was help full!

I will offer you some tips for your Elite difficulty journey. I should start by saying this game is fairly easy even on the hardest difficulty. Do not be frightened by it. You will die at certain points. Possibly many deaths. But there are so many checkpoints in each mission that you can make little progress and be rewarded with a checkpoint.
Tip #1: Use the cover system (even though it can suck at times!) and never leave yourself open to enemy fire.
Tip #2: Machine gun choices. The PPSH holds the biggest clip, but it is less common to find one laying around so you can replenish ammo. The MP-40 holds a decent sized clip but you are much more likely to find one from looting dead bodies. I suggest taking the MP-40.
Tip #3: Always take the Welrod. It is almost the best weapon in the game. Sometimes it is better to be silent than to go loud. Make sure you aim for the head with the Welrod to ensure you score the kill. Sometimes a body-shot just isn't enough.
Tip #4: Enemies will be everywhere. But try and shoot the snipers first. If you have a sound that can mask the sounds of your shots, use that to your advantage for as long as you can. Alerting enemies can be costly and death inducing.
Tip #5: Sniper Rifles. Each sniper rifle is unique. You can see this by looking at the stat page for each rifle. Choose the rifle that works best for YOU. I personally enjoyed the Mosin Nagant because it seemed to have more "oomph" power to it. However, since it was a bolt-action, my rate of fire was feckin' slow. So try each rifle when they become available and choose the one that works best for you.
Tip #6: Equpiment. You want to take all the trip mines and land mines that you can. Grenades are not needed on this difficulty. Dynamite isn't that useful either.
Remember to take your time and don't be afraid if you die a few times. Sometimes it helps you get a sense of where the enemies are coming from. I died quite a bit in Chapter 8 when the snipers show up. I didn't use a video guide at first and I didn't know where the hell they were all shooting me from. Eventually, you will persevere.
Also take note that using your binoculars to "tag" an enemy has been disabled.
Good luck!

This trophy is unlocked for beating the game on Sniper Elite difficulty. It will unlock as the credits begin to roll at the end of ‘Bradenburg Gate’.
Tips:
- Cover is your friend. You should always be in cover popping out to shoot rather than standing in the open. Never pop out of cover in bloodshot.
- Always loot enemy bodies. It can be tedious, but the ammo and equipment found can be very helpful.
- Try and keep stealthy for as long as possible. Going loud can bring many more enemies to the fight.
- When you are in a building, always leave Trip Mines on as many entrances as possible.
- Learn where enemies spawn, especially snipers. If you die, you will have a big advantage next time knowing where the enemies will spawn. Snipers can sometimes be identified by the light reflecting off of their scopes.
- Stay as far back as possible! Sniping is much more likely to be successful than using an SMG.
- If you wound an enemy to the point where he is crying out for a medic, don’t finish him. Other enemies can be flushed out trying to rescue him, making them easy targets themselves.
- If you are on a roof or other unshielded areas, then go prone. Not only does this make you a smaller target for the enemy to aim at, it will also refill your breath more quickly.

It's strange that you write about the difficulty of the game. You didn't even hold it in your hands. I will say for myself that the elite is not entirely simple. You don't get 100 points for a freebie. Constantly search and shoot only from behind cover. Shoot everyone one by one and try to do it under the sound of explosions, then no one understands that someone nearby was killed.

Remove enemies one by one and unnoticeably, without raising an alarm, then there will be an order of magnitude fewer enemies (according to my observations). Going ahead is quite difficult.
