Bruin, my guess is that the 2009 version material you currently bought has the changes which happened upto last year as they usually print the next year's edition in Nov/Dec.

Unfortunately, even if it is less than 6 months to your exam, be it any section, you would have to manually update the material with the updates they issue separately on their site:

You can check the updates and proceed accordingly. The software may already be updated (pass master, lecture, final exams, sims), however, textbook may be not.

I would advise you to verify all the changes. Do let know in case you face any more doubts. I know it's highly important that our study material should be updated as per latest changes which are testable !

In fact, try to call up the Becker representative and verify about the updated material.... I bought my 2009 edition material last year in mid Dec and I had to update all changes which happened in 2009 and testable at the time of my exam.
