Hi guys, I got ahold of some old study materials, do you guys think they are still worth using considering the changes 2016 too? Or should i invest in newer materials? Here's what I have:

Math Destroyer (2011)
DAT Destroyer (2011)
CliffsAP AP Biology (3rd Ed)
Kaplan DAT 7th Ed
Schaum's Outlines Biolog 3rd Ed

I certainly hope not because I am using 3rd Cliffs and 2012 destroyer!

I took the DAT 3 weeks ago, and I used the exact same math destroyer as you. It still works perfectly fine, and I thought the real deal was eerily similar to that. I would assume your DAT destroyer is also fine since the changes were apparently just a rumor and never really went into effect although I personally used the 2015 DAT destroyer. Cliffs is golden; I used the exact same book. I'd highly suggest purchasing DAT Bootcamp though; I thought that and Destroyer were the MOST similar to the actual test. Also, personally while I used Kaplan for reviewing my chem sections because I felt comfortable with my chem background, Chad's videos are definitely a better alternative if you're weak in either section. Otherwise, for everything else, the Kaplan book merely just introduces you to the exam and wasn't the best resource in my opinion. If you're looking for another resource for bio, Ferali's notes are great too! There will be a link to it for free if you buy DAT Bootcamp. Just my insight haha

I used both the 2011 and 2015 DAT destoryer and would STRONGLY recommend that you invest in the new one. The new one is better in every way. Better study cheat sheets, better questions, and its mor focused than the old one. At first I wanted to return the 2015 when I got it because I thought it was the same but they are definitely not!

Yep, I concur. The turtle is correct.
