For the AoS, yes.

 

[iJimmy]

so we will be the first year group to do our exam on a new area of study, so will BOS make the exam easier or harder to find out how students handle the new topic without much previous knowledge.

Previous knowledge shouldn't impact a student's ability to complete the module. Otherwise, this infers that the module wasn't properly taught.

I wouldn't expect any change in regards to the difficulty.

BOS has to be lenient to first timers of that area ;D

Not really, if taught properly it should theoretically be no easier or harder for any year.

And even if it was harder for the first timers it doesn't matter how you do in comparison to the year before or after, only how you do in comparison to your own cohort, even if one years exam was really hard everyone in the state is in the same position so doesn't matter
