Satish, I didnt give a hard look to the new certification exam's preparation guide and the topics mentioned, let me do a one on one comparison. But please be sure that questions would be a mix of questions that would test your flex fundamentals(irrespective of flex sdk version) and questions specific to flex 4 sdk. questions from AIR would also follow same pattern, there would be questions from the the new APIs and functionalities in AIR 2.0 and then there would also be some basic questions that would test your AIR desktop application development fundamentals.
