I was on the last course at our FTO to use the old syllabus. We seemed to do very well as a whole. I noticed that there was a much higher failure rate on the course after us. I recall that the questions they received where quite different from the question bank style questions that we have been so used to, and relied on for a while.
I guess that you'll be safe and still be doing the old syllabus exams as they are valid until mid 2012 are they not?
