There are no new questions in the official guide 2024 compared to the 2022 edition.
For anyone looking for the latest and greatest, I’m going to give you some really dark scary truth - During the years when GMAC updates their questions in the book, they update about 15% of the book. This means 15% of the total questions are new and 85% are questions from the previous addition.
2024 OG focus official guide is 100% copy of the 2022 official guide, minus the sentence correction and geometry (so it actually contains fewer questions).
The 2022 official guide contained 15% new
Questions compared to 2021 edition.
The 2021 edition was an exact copy of the 2020 edition.
2020 edition had 15% new questions
And so on.
The 2024 edition contains about 30% of new questions since 2019 and 70% are from pre-2019.
Moreover, the new questions added to the official guide are questions retired from previous exams. Based on anecdotal feedback and other evidence, many of these questions were written 10-20 years ago, so even the latest questions in the official guide the 15% of them, are from pre- 2010 exams.
Live with this 🤣
PS. How can you make this information useful? You should realize that the questions you see in the official guide are amazing and fantastic but they will not be the exact questions you will see on your test at the test center. Moreover these amazing and fantastic official questions do not have an expiration date. Doesn’t matter affect, nobody knows when these questions were written exactly. Instead of trying to chase new questions which would have a known creation dates, it’s better to invest into knowledge and material on how to handle any question, whether new or old. Don’t get fixated on the vintage of the questions, Instead focus on the material. If you know the background of math and have a strategy for critical reasoning and reading comprehension, you will be able to tackle any question from any edition of the official guide .[/quote]
hey do you mind looking at the below question in another post please?

I realized that 11 NEW "logic-based" DS questions (Criteria, Comparisons, Graphs/Tables, Verbal Reasoning, etc.) were added to the OG 2024 online question bank, sometime between June and October. You can access them among the 43 "hard" questions.
I've also seen a lot of questions about the differences between the OG 2022 and the OG 2023-2024, so here's my analysis:
Most of the questions between OG 2022 and Focus Edition OG 2023-2024 are the same.
The biggest important difference is about half of the Data Sufficiency (DS) questions were removed from OG 2022; Focus Edition focuses on word problems, not "pure math" / algebra.
It's easier to avoid Geometry if you're using the OG 2022; on the Wiley.com question bank, you can just unselect those questions.
Attached is a detailed analysis I did on the DS, based on the topic categorization on GMAT Club.
76 additional IR questions (called "Integrated Reasoning" on the classic edition) were added to OG 2024, plus 131 in the Data Insights Guide:
OG 2024 has 150 IR questions:
• 43 Multi-Source Reasoning
• 29 Table Analysis
• 34 Graphics Interpretation
• 44 Two-Part Analysis
In contrast, OG 2022 has 74 IR questions:
• 23 Multi-Source Reasoning
• 17 Table Analysis
• 15 Graphics Interpretation
• 19 Two-Part Analysis
Additionally, the Data Insights Guide for 2024 has 131 IR questions:
• 23 Multi Source Reasoning
• 50 Two-Part Analysis
• 30 Graphics Interpretation
• 28 Table Analysis
An additional difference is you have more control over the questions you select, with the 2024 guide on the mba.com interface. You can pick the exact number of questions you want from each type and difficulty, to simulate a practice test.
For example, on average, a Data Insights section has (based on 7 takes of official practice tests 1 & 2):
• 6 Data Sufficiency
• 5 Two-Part Analysis
• 4 Multi-Source Reasoning (either 3 or 6, in sets of 3)
• 3 Graphics Interpretation
• 2 Table Analysis
Creating these "fake tests", with a timer of 45 minutes, works well for Quant and Data Insights, and can help you work on your time management, but you won't be able to review your answers and change them with any extra time, like you would on the real format. Additionally, for Reading Comp, there is a bug. You have to select all of the questions at one time; otherwise, it often gives only 1 question at a time from each passage.
If you decide to invest in OG 2024, the best value is to buy the bundle of 4 physical books on Amazon for $59, vs $111 bought individually at mba.com. Then I recommend entering the codes from the books to use the online question banks at mba.com.
https://www.amazon.com/Official-Guide-2 ... 1394187750
This bundle has 1,718 questions.
Below, I've attached screenshots of the 4 question banks for this bundle. There's also extra questions in the Diagnostic Exams, under the "Practice Exams" tab on the left (57 in the main OG, 18 DI, 24 Verbal, 15 Quant)
