I bought the 2012 edition at the recommendation of a few friends who took the DAT. Each edition in Destroyer has new questions in each section. I don't have an old edition to compare it to. Also the math destroyer has 13 practice tests. I know the old one has only 11 or 12.

dont bother studying from an old book. you will be at a huge disadvantage. new book has problems that you will most likely see on your exam.

I came across this thread and was wondering the same thing. If i have the 2010 and 2011 version, should I buy the 2012 version if I'm retaking the DAT in June? Are the questions that different?

Just get the newest book. New problems = Better Practice = Higher DAT score.

All additions are great, but whenever a new book comes out, it always has plenty if new stuff, it is usually an advantage.

Not sure what the difference is, or if there is a difference, but I too had the 2010 Destroyer books and I used those to study off of -- just recently took the DAT. I didn't feel like I missed anything or any subjects with the old edition.

There are a lot of new questions added to 2012 Destroyer, especially in Biology and chemistry. Can you do well with previous editions? Sure. However, if you are buying a book, don't you want the most for your money?

I think he already has the 2010 book, but is contemplating on whether he should buy the new edition, no?

I wonder if I have the 2010 destroyer do I still need to purchase the 2012 edition? In addition, does the Crack reading comprehensive help improve?

As everyone is saying, go with the newer more improved version of Destroyer.

CDR helped me a lot imo. Reading Comp on the Verbal part of my SAT was realllly weak in high school so I was worried RC would be tough for me. I averaged 19 on CDR and scored much better on the real thing!

Good luck!
