I am looking into buying a copy of Barrons to self-study. Does anyone know how much it matters whether we use the older 2007 (3rd) edition or the more current 2009 (4th) edition? From what I can discern, the AP Psych test has not been changed significantly in this time-frame, and I do not care if the grading scale on the practice tests is slightly incorrect due to the abolition of the guessing penalty.

Also, how important is the CD? I know it contains practice tests, but are these the same or different as the ones that are in the regular book? Is it worth paying about double the cost of the book to get the CD version?

Alternatively, it appears that I could buy a 2007 book with CD for about the same price as purchasing the 2009 version new. Does anyone have any suggestions as to which would be a better option? Thanks so much.
