The following is true for most GMAT books.
This is exactly the same book as not only the previous edition, but also few more previous editions for the last few years. The only difference you’ll find will be the cover page. If you have an older edition, there is absolutely no need to buy the new one. Of course, if you are out to buy a test prep book for the first time, it may make sense to buy the latest edition. But, be aware that even the older edition would give you the same stuff.
Anyhow, this is a nice book as it has everything packed in one book. It will give you a very good overall idea about each and every part of the GMAT, but it doesn’t go below the surface of any topic. So, if you want more detailed knowledge about any specific area, you may have to refer to some other sources. This book also has a few typos in math, which is common in all math test prep books.
If you are serious about getting a high score, I’d recommend doing the following: -Get the latest edition of OG. -Get the latest version of Kaplan and/or Barron’s book as this they are one of the best all-in-one review books. -For Verbal – Verbal OG, Kaplan/PR Verbal Workbook, and Manhattan SC/RC if you want more practice with sentence correction questions types. -For Quant – Quant OG, Kaplan/PR Math Workbook, and EZ Solutions GMAT math series if you want in-depth and thorough coverage of each match topic. With this, you will have all the tools you’ll need to get a score without any additional help.
If you simply want a good refresher in all areas, then the Kaplan book is more than sufficient, but if you want a thorough review, consider the EZ Solutions GMAT math series.
Thanks for reading this post and good luck in your test!
