I see the class spread, what about the Players experience? My table, all but one has been playing for 5+ years. The one has been playing for a year.

My table had 2 relatively new players, one player with about 2 years of PF1 experience, a PFS 3-star, and a PFS/SFS 1-star/whatever the equivalent for SFS is.
They generally used what I would consider very decent tactics. What hurt them most was the lack of a rogue, so they had to be really noisy opening doors. Oh, and they broke open the idol while trying to fish it out of the pond with a grappling hook.
Sometimes, the circumstances also conspired against them. In A8, due to the room size, the paladin literally got surrounded by skeletons (I was kind, and had some of them attack other party members in the room). Drakus heard them rummaging in his room (including breaking open the chest) and was waiting for them. He created a semi-bottleneck situation (again, I was kind and had him wait where he could engage them one at a time, but also where they could try to slip past him.
They also (especially the poor human fighter) had some epic-level bad dice rolls, whereas I had generally good ones. Gear was also sometimes an issue. The human fighter's player only had an AC 14, but she was almost always in front (the dwarf fighter had a higher AC, but was a ranged specialist). I think Drakus rolled critical hits on the human at least 6 times.
Like I said, this is only 1 anecdotal data point, so YMMV.
Edited because I noticed I forgot a close parenthesis.
