I've taken the new FedEx and Delta tests in the past 30 days. I also had most, if not all of the gouge out there. On each test, I only had 4-5 questions out of 60 that I recognized from any gouge. That said, the concepts did change and a lot of questions were similar topics just worded differently. There were a lot of new questions too on things like LDAs, LAHSO, some Jepp chart interpretations, etc. I read Aero for Naval Aviators and Everything Explained for the Pro Pilot as well as some AOPA circulars and parts of the Flying Handbook (FAA). The gouge can help with focusing you on topics, but ACS is right, memorizing the current questions that are out there isn't smart. I felt good on both tests, and apparently passed since I got both jobs.

Good luck in your upcoming decision (if you have not already made it!)

I heard you should update your app after every leg, that's what smart phones and tablets are for! 
(full disclosure, I must have sent about 10 apps in the 4 years Delta was not hiring, 1981-85, all 6 pages, typed on an IBM Selectrick, no spell checker, and when I finally got an interview, the app the guy was looking at was 3 years old!)
