EMT current guidelines?

As of August '11 the CPR guidelines changed from A-B-C to C-A-B. That would also change the correct answers to the EMT exam regarding emergency situations to C-A-B, correct? Like situational questions when asked what to do first, you would focus on circulation before breathing, is this correct? Or is this only for CPR on the exam, and other emergency situations are still prioritized as A-B-C?
