Well, for what it's worth, I'm nearing the end of Mod 2 at Bristol, and I found Mod 1 easier, although more work.
I'm not the kind of person who can learn facts. That means that I find Air Law, Ops Procs and certain parts of Radio Nav very difficult. On the other hand, I'm good at learning concepts and ideas, and I found Gen Nav and Flight Planning very easy.
I know people who are completely the opposite to me, though, and who can read a chapter of Ops Procs and immediately commit all the relevant details to memory, but have really trouble getting their head around chart divergency. It all depends what type of learner you are.
One thing I did find, though, is that Mod 2 goes much faster than Mod 1. You read a chapter of Air Law, maybe re-read it to make sure you remember the key points... then that's it until you come to revision and brush-up. Much quicker than Mod 1, where certain subjects can take several readings and weeks of banging your head against a wall before you understand it.
Good luck!
