Hey fellow pre-dents/dental students!

I have the opportunity to purchase a 2016 DAT Destroyer/Math Destroyer combo for ~$120 with little to no markings in it. Is there a big benefit to spending the extra $80 to purchase 2017 version of the combo, or will the 2016 version suffice?

I know it is much better to spend the extra $80 now as opposed to retaking the DAT, I just wanted to see if anyone knew whether or not the 2016 and 2017 versions were very similar.

Thanks!
 
I thought the 2016 destroyer was awesome. I got a 22 TS so it was very effective. I can't speak for math destroyer though.

If I were in your shoes, I would get 2016 but I also haven't seen the 2017 version or heard anything about it
 
According to Nancy she mention that they add more question to 2017 and I can tell you that it is well worth to invest additional money and get latest material because those additional question can be game changer! Just saying [emoji28]

Agreed, it only takes a few more questions correct in a section to make the difference in acceptance or a retake.
 
I have been using the 2017 version for the last couple of weeks now. My exam is this upcoming Monday and today I took the 2009 practice test. On the general chemistry part I got 1 mistake, ochem 3 mistakes, and biology 4 mistakes. DAT destroyer pretty much covered every topic I saw on the practice exam except for 2 ochem questions that were random and irrelevant.
