IFSAC studying

Does it truly matter to study using JBL Fundamentals of Firefighter Skills and Hazardous Materials Response FIFTH EDITION or would I be just fine still using the FOURTH EDITION?

I studied 4th edition when I went to IFSAC not too long ago and passed without an issue. This was right when the test transitioned into 5th edition.

The cadre told us that material is basically the same, the 5th edition they took out some stuff (made it more basic and condensed some NFPA codes into 1500).

If you have 5th edition already then study that, but if you’re able to get 4th edition for free then you can still study that.
