I m also preparing the Solution Architect Certification using an official study guide book but I was wondering if the services you need to study didn t change ? Mainly EC2/S3/Dynamo, some SES, SQS?
I feel that in the last couple of years so many new services popped up in AWS, so I wondered if they were added on the exam ? Things like Machine Learning or Media Services ?

As far as I know they only ask stuff about the core services (VPC, SQS, SNS, EC2, S3, RDS, EBS, EFS, ELB etc.)

Some of them got updates. Like RDS got Aurora, and the 2018 exams include questions about it.

Some new services are also core services, like Lambda. They were already in the old exam and are more present in the current one. (I did the pre-2018 exam and a post-2018 practice exam)
