I think you should go with 1.4. The new stuff (assertions, collections) is relatively easy, and the 1.4 test does not cover AWT or I/O. Plus the 1.2 test is aging and crickity and all the emphasis is on 1.4.

Everything that you need to know about assertions is contained in the document titled "Programming with Assertions".
You will also need to learn about a couple new components of the collections framework: LinkedHashMap and LinkedHashSet.
That's most of the new material.
