DAT biology and math sections changing?

[mitrieD]

I'm starting to prepare for the DAT. I was planning on buying pre owned prep books for DAT (destroyer, bootcamp, etc.) from ebay to save money. Since the biology and math sections of the DAT are changing, should I consider buying new versions of the DAT? Would they be updated to accommodate for the upcoming changes?

Also, how are the biology and math sections changing compared to the previous versions?

Thanks

Nothing has been updated yet, you'll still have to wait awhile until then.

Changes to Test Content
Critical Thinking Skills
In order to enhance testing of critical thinking skills, the Quantitative
Reasoning Test (QRT) specifications have been revised to eliminate the
sections for numerical calculations, conversions, geometry, and
trigonometry. Items will be added in the following areas: data analysis,
interpretation, and sufficiency; quantitative comparison; and probability
and statistics. These changes will be implemented no sooner than
2015.
Biology
Biology survey courses have shifted to a systems approach (i.e., focusing
on complex interactions within biological systems). Biology test
specifications are being adjusted accordingly in 2015.
