Yes..

Quote:

Can I use old GMAT official guide books for practice like 2022 or 2019?

Also how about old manhatten books ?
They are good... only in the latest books there would be additional questions

Also the difference of standard format vs focus edition

Which of these is better- the Manhattan Prep books- All the verbal and All the Quant + DI or should I go in for individual official guides?

They serve different purposes. People use Manhattan Prep books mainly to learn concepts, theories and strategies, while there are also Manhattan’s own questions for each content area, both in the book and in their online platform. Official Guides are mainly collection of official GMAT questions, lots of them, but the content review chapters in OG are actually limited.

Jumping in on the Official Guide and Standard vs Focus questions.

On old OG editions: yes, 2019 and 2022 books are usable. The core question types and concepts haven't changed. The main thing you lose with older editions is a smaller question bank, plus a handful of questions that got replaced. For Problem Solving and Data Sufficiency, the 2019 book is still perfectly solid. Just supplement with GMAT Club's free question banks for variety.

Manhattan books work the same way. Their strategy content is largely format-agnostic, so the older editions are fine for learning concepts. I actually used a 2019 Manhattan Quant book during my prep and it covered everything I needed.

On Standard vs GMAT Focus Edition: these are genuinely different tests. Standard GMAT had Verbal (Sentence Correction, Critical Reasoning, Reading Comprehension) + Quant (PS + DS) + Integrated Reasoning + AWA. GMAT Focus Edition scraps Sentence Correction entirely, adds Data Insights (which combines IR-style questions with DS), and cuts AWA. The scoring scale also changed, so scores aren't directly comparable. If you're prepping now, you're prepping for GMAT Focus Edition, so make sure your materials are current.

On subscriptions: TTP is very strong for Quant if you're building from scratch. e-GMAT's verbal methodology works well for non-native speakers. For DI specifically, GMAT Club's own tests are underrated and free.

Good luck to everyone in the group!

Thanks. Also what's your take on Manhattan prep books vs Powerscore RC and CR books?

Just my personal take - Powerscore books are more technical, and go into a bit more detail, perhaps because these GMAT books are basically adopted from their LSAT counterparts. The Powerscore books also cover a bit more question types. So it will take a bit longer to digest, but they explain all concepts clearly.

On the other hand, Manhattan books are more "intuitive", for a lock of better word. They read very smoothly and are shorter. One benefit of the Manhattan All the Verbal 8th Ed. is that it’s a combination of three books in previous editions: RC, CR and Foundation of Verbal. The Foundation of Verbal chapters may be beneficial for those starting at a more beginner level, or for those English is second language.

In addition to the Powerscore and Manhattan books, you can also refer to the study plan for the May/June group: gmat-may-june-weekly-gmat-study-plan-group-454866.html. There are a wealth of articles and Youtube videos curated by CR and RC topics from reputable sources.
