Is it necessary to use 2016 year study materials if i am giving the exam in this year or previous years materials will work? Please suggest

I think it is strongly advisable to use newest curriculum coz there is some changes in 2016 material compare with 2015. But according to CFA 1 level curriculum changes in 2016 (you can see compare table here: https://www.cfainstitute.org/programs/cfaprogram/courseofstudy/Pages/pra... and here: http://www.apptuto.com/cfa-level-1-curriculum-changes-2016/) there is some minor changes. That is you can use outdated (2015) third party provider review in some topics that helps clarify some hard topics but cfa 2016 curriculum have to remain your main material .

Hey everyone! I’m interested to take a CFA level 1 exam. I was a little bit confuse with what should i do first and how is the Exam materials. But when i search about CFA materials, i found a web who offers CFA Materials. The offer is an ebook for:
1. CFA program curriculum vol 1-6
2. Fin quiz (smart summaries, notes, formula sheet and mock exam)
3. Schweser (quicksheet and study notes vol 1-5)
I need any suggestion, should i take this offer or not? It costs about usd 30 for these 3 Ebooks. Or ther is any web who offers better? And is it possible for me to rush for the exam in June, when i start to rush my study in February? Thanks before..

As Valentine said, 2016 materials are strongly suggested.
Take example a college textbook where each edition changes only slightly, however they change because information is constantly updated.
P.S.
If you get the Wiley study materials they provide free updates until you pass the exam.
