Advice on upgrade from 1.2 to 1.4 with exam CX-310-036.

[Jeffrey Mychasiw]

I certified for Java 1.2 and am interested in
the sun upgrade exam.
I found this:
"Sun is offering a new upgrade exam with the release of certification for the Java Programmer. This exam is for candidates who have already successfully completed the Sun Certified Programmer for the Java 2 Platform examinations, of a previous version."
Are there books or material that are specific to just the upgrade to 1.4?
Can anyone comment con the upgrade exam?

Check out this recent thread Recommended Book(s) for Java 1.4 Study/Review
It discusses the upgrade exam.
Also, the book that Kathy is so coily referring to is this one: Sun Certified Programmer & Developer Study Guide by Kathy Sierra and Bert Bates
It's an excellent book and I highly recommend it.

I also saw this in the new course catalog I got from Sun today & was wondering if anyone new the deatils, or where I can find them. Is it another 59 questions @ $150 or no?

..more to my original question.
I guess I was hoping for official documentation that states the topics that I DO NOT have to study for the upgrade exam that I otherwise would for the full 1.4 exam.
The little that I have read is that you need to know the new stuff as well as some of the old.
It would be great for an exam cram that targets just the upgrade
