Is it wrong that while watching some of the new Smart Filtering techniques for Photoshop CS3 on the Photoshop Secrets: Wacom Tablets & CS3 that I'm actually whimpering with pleasure?

In these programmes, Ian Peacock, a man possibly more troubled by indecision than Hamlet, meets scientists and psychologist sin an attempt to develop some life-changing decision-making skills.“The trouble with our brains”, says decision researcher Peter Ayton from the Society for Judgment and Decision Making, “is that they were designed to survive in the relatively simple environment of the African Savannah, thousands of years ago”.

I took the Adobe Certified Expert Exam in September and failed by 2 questions (72%, passing was 75%). By my own calculation, I should have had an 80%, meaning that 10% of the questions were not only incorrect, but I incorrectly thought my answers were right.
When I took the test, I instantly learned the answers to 3 questions which I knew I'd missed, but I've forgotten what 1 of those questions was, and wasn't smart enough to blog about it. Incidentally, the 2 answers I missed: The location of the menu used to re-assign hot keys to menu items, and the location of the preference to save the history states of the file in progress (I didn't even know you could save those).
I have, of course, memorized those two answers, which would put me right at the pass/fail mark, but I'd like a better margin of error than that.
I have found the following website which has the cheapest study aid which I think will be effective for me:
http://www.examaids.com/
Now the question is: should I buy with the CS2 version of this study aid, or should I go for the CS3 (the latest) version of the study aid, and start working with the latest version of Photoshop and the Creative Suite?
