Is Prelim 2 1994 the same as Prelim 2 2016?

As title really...

Am looking to enter my first dressage on my new boy next week. Looking at the schedule, Prelim 2 is 2016 but I only have a copy which is dated 1994.
Does anyone know if they are the same test, slightly different or completely different?

Same question for Novice 24, is 2010 the same as the 2002 version?

Thank you

could well be totally different, I learnt an old version of a novice test once (could have been 24, is that a long arena?) and would have come unstuck if I hadn't watched the horse before me go.

Some of the more recent changes have just tweaked the marking or removed a rein back (N37a?) but some of the proper old ones have had their numbers recycled into completely new floorplans. Worth coughing up the pennies to dressage diagrams to be sure

No it's not the same.

after my near miss with out-of-date-novice-whateveritwas I now make a habit to clear out my old test sheets when the new ones are announced each year. Even if it's just a re-jig of the marks it pays to know how they are being distributed in the new version of the test.

No Prelim 2 (2016) is quite a different test to it's previous incarnation. If you check out Dressage Diagrams you can download the test

Thank you all for your help. It's one of my big dreads as I never have a caller so need to know the (right) test!
