Haven't sat the ATPL conversion exam, but have sat an ATPL exam recently. Here are the changes for your exam if you aren't familiar. Straight from CASA.
AOSA. There will be numerous changes to this exam as many provisions of CAR and most CAOs will be repealed, but CAO 48.1 Instrument 2019 will remain in force. Specific changes include:
• refuelling requirements
• engine starting and operations near buildings/public areas
• classification of operations
• carriage of animals and firearms
• weather radar requirements and limitations
• aircraft Instrument requirements TAWS, CVR, FDR , Altitude Alerting System (note: transitional legislation may apply)
• oxygen requirements.
• loading and performance: Vspeeds, climb gradients, obstacle clearance
• Subpart 121.Z – Certain single-engine aeroplanes
• Approach bans
• Alternate Aerodrome requirements
• Understanding that Part 121 may add to or turn off some Part 91 requirements – either completely or partially.
• Splitting general emergency training into yearly and 3 yearly requirements
• ELT`s (note: transitional legislation may apply)
• Minimum Equipment List (MEL)
I'd recommend getting newer, updated references. Best of luck
