Hi Everyone -
I have older copies of the Manhattan GMAT Supplemental Strategy Books for Quantitative and Verbal studies. It is 4th Edition and published around 2009.
I took the exam before and decided to call it quits. However, recently been re-energized to re-take the exam today.
GMAT friends/takers/experts, I believe M-GMAT has 7th or 7th edition out, in your opinion and experience, would you recommend I purchase the newer books?
These are the supplemental verbal and quant books. Will the newer supplemental verbal/quant books have new strategies and tactics compared to the 4th edition? If your answer is yes, get the new books, can you please provide your reasoning and logic, I would greatly appreciate your time and insights.
My goal score range is 720-750
Thank you GMAT community for listening, please help

Hi Suw146,
It's not clear whether you need these books or not - and it's completely possible that you would benefit from using some other study materials entirely. Since you're interested in retesting, I have to assume that there was something about your prior GMAT Score that you are not satisfied with. As such, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you previously studied and your goals:
Studies:
1) How did you score on the Official GMAT (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?
2) How long ago did you study (and for how long?)?
3) What study materials did you use?
Goals:
4) What is your goal score?
5) When are you planning to retake the GMAT?
6) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
7) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

Rich -
Thank you for your response and follow questions.
Regarding, the books, I understand your comments, and you may be right, I may need additional tactics. I guess my original question regarding the books, were to see if people thought it was outdated, and would warrant new books/new questions
Studies:
1) How did you score on the Official GMAT (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)? Quite honestly, I do not remember it was quite some time ago, but my total score was 620 if that helps.
2) How long ago did you study (and for how long?)? I studied back in 2010/2011, and for 3 months or so
3) What study materials did you use? I used the Manhattan GMAT Supplemental Strategy Books (Number Properties, Geometry etc.) , and I used the GMAT Official Guide for practice questions
Goals:
4) What is your goal score? 720-750 range
5) When are you planning to retake the GMAT? November/December of 2017
6) When are you planning to apply to Business School? For the class being admitted in 2019, so next year
7) What Schools are you planning to apply to? Wharton (#1 target), Columbia, HBS, Booth, Yale, NYU, Cornell
One additional change from the last time I took this exam, is my mental state. I am much more confident and even excited to tackle this exam. Previously, I was not excited, and even intimidated. I know I can ace this exam and I know I can get into my target schools. I just want and need to make sure, first, I have the right study tactics and plan to earn the score I want. I will then figure out the rest later, but first step is getting that score.
Rich, thanks for listening and for the response.
