I also didn't encounter any questions (say from 1999 exams) that according to new regulations, would no longer be valid. Hope that helps. Hi Lauren,

As far as I can remember (on my exam), they didn’t have any “trick” questions trying to trip you up where you’d be tempted to answer based on “old” rules.

I also didn’t encounter any questions (say from 1999 exams) that according to new regulations, would no longer be valid.

Hope that helps.

I know that the new stuff is being tested, but I was wondering if they are still testing over interferences and topics that have now been preempted? Thanks.
