I am a HS Senior and was accepted ED into a 7 Year Bio Dent program. I was wondering when I should start studying for the DAT...

It's because I know that I'm a really bad test taker and I would rather spread out my studying (I started studying for the SATs in Middle School).

I'm also asking because my older cousin just got accepted into Dental School and she's giving me all her DAT materials (Destroyer, Kaplan, etc.) for a good deal. Some of these books seem to be going for $100+ on Amazon/Ebay and she offered all of them for $70. Should I buy these or do you think I should wait? Will the material change?

Thank you.

Destroyer + Kaplan for $70 is a steal. There won't be any significant differences between new versions and the ones your cousin has. You can start studying for the RC, QR, and PAT sections of the DAT as early as you want, but hold off on studying for the sciences until you've taken the courses in college (usually by the end of your second year).

No tell her to sell it to me.
