I guess this should be CW but I don't know how to post a question as such, so if anyone can help out...

What I would like to know is the following: I have taken exam 70-526 a couple of years ago and I still have the training kit laying around. Now my boss wants me to prepare for the upgrade exam 70-505. Do you know if both exams are similar or otherwise put: do you think I have to get the new training kit to prepare for this exam or will the old one do?

I haven't done a whole lot of Windows Forms programming these past few years so I'll have to re-learn much of what's in the book.
