New Series 79

Has anybody taken the new series 79? I am two weeks into studying only to find out the exam is completely different now. I am scheduled to take it in a little over a week. Anybody have any clue how different / difficult this exam is compared to the older version? I saw the number of questions was more than halved. Any insight here would be much appreciated as I figure out how to best approach studying.
