Saurabh : I am following this thread as I am too interested in Flex 4 Exam , I went through the Flex4 ACE Preparation Guide , I see only a few changes are been added when compared to Flex 3 Preparation Guide .
So , The reason for me asking to you is , As you have taken up the Flex 3 Exam successfully , I just want to confirm whether the Exam will contain the questions only from Topic areas & Test Objectives . My doubt here is in Flex 4 , For Example in Air , As per the Flex 4 Preparation guide the Topics area s & Test objectives contains File API , Database , Security , Native Windows Menus & Installation and creating build , All these were part of the Flex3 as well , So does it means that the new Air 2.0 features will not be part of the Exam questions .
