My Japanese teacher has some old N2 textbooks that are for the old N2 exam, but does not have any textbooks for the new exam. Since I can get them for free instead of paying $80 NZD for them, I am inclined to use them instead of a more recent textbook. Are these old textbooks still useful?
If I didn’t get any of these textbooks I would probably buy Try! N2 Grammar textbook.
The specific textbooks are:

My teacher is also able to get these textbooks from some other teachers around the country upon request:
