Just wondering if there are enough changes in Java 11 to make it worthwhile taking the upgrade exam from Java 8 to Java 11? I did the upgrade from 5 to 8 because the language had gone through some pretty big changes but it seems there hasn't been the same sort of changes from 8 to 11 (apart from modules)

Modules are definitely the biggest thing! There are some API changes and syntax improvements, but not at the level of streams/lambdas.
