A new version of the guide has been published with updated difficulty settings for each question. It has not changed a whole lot since last September when the original OG 13 guide with difficulties was published, but it has become more precise.

Good luck!

Experts - I need your advise.
I read somewhere in the forum that the OG11, OG12 , OG13 came out in 2005, 2009 and 2012 respectively. Most experts were not expecting OG14 to come out so soon, but looks like it is coming out on 8th July 2014.

The Official Guide for GMAT Review 2015
Publication Date: July 8, 2014 | ISBN-10: 1118914090 | ISBN-13: 978-1118914090 | Edition: 14

I was planning to buy OG13 Bundle +Kaplan GMAT Premier 2015+MGMAT Set, 5th Edition for my study plan. Now I may have to wait and buy OG14 instead of OG13. Confusion is - MGMAT 5th edition goes with OG13 and there is no plan for new MGMAT edition to come out which can go with OG14. So here is the dilemma? Can I used MGMAT 5th ed with OG14.

Thank you so very much! Is there a similar excel sheet breakdown accessible/compiled for the Verbal/Quantitative 2nd Edition GMAT Supplements?

Thanks, rock on!!

A question about these guides to GMAT Official Guides:

How the difficulty levels of questions have been determined?
Are they based on info from GMAC?!

I believe i clearly spelled it out in the first post.... nevermind, I did not - that info is here: og-13-contains-only-5-hard-questions-161788.html

and no, GMAT does not share any kind of information about question difficulty.

I have downloaded the guide for official guide (13 ed). Could anyone please explain to me that how can I get the details of the categorization & sub-categorization of questions based on the various topics as I am not able to understand the GC categories give in this spreadsheet in every question.

According to the URL provided, the answer is E, but the Excel sheet tells me it's D.
