Are 2016 checkpoints OK to use?

I got a second handed bio 2016 checkpoint and was wondering if that was ok to use this year? I know the study design changed but I'm not sure how much it changed exactly.

It should be ok. In terms of Unit 3 it is pretty much the same aside from transferring some molecular genetics from the old unit 4. The new unit 4 has been shaken up a bit though. Classic Punnett square genetics is gone and they've focused more on evolution and it's relationship with genetics.

Nope. New study design so I don't think 2016 checkpoints should be the focus of your study.

Unit 3 has made some cosmetic changes but is largely similar, unit 4 is pretty different. Judging by the changes to the study design, I wouldn't be surprised if VCAA begun to change the way they ask questions in biology a little bit.
