GMAT Official Guide 2025 - 2026 has already been posted and announced on Amazon! This is pretty early as it gets, and interesting enough there are already descriptions and images so we can get a sense of this new edition. https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51tCyx7BUgL._SX445_.jpg https://www.amazon.com/GMAT-Official-Gu ... 394333862/ Q: Are there New questions? Very likely at least 200 as that is how many more questions the book has than the current edition, so we should hopefully see at least that number of new questions... fingers crossed. Most of the content/new questions are located in the main Guide (about 75-100 more) and about 25 more per each of the sectional guides (each sectional guide usually has about 200-250 questions). Q: Anything else new? Does not look like. It has the same online quiz bank feature (maybe a new UI finally?), 300 additional questions that are online only, flashcards but all these things are also in the 2024 edition of the book. Q: Is it worth buying the Official Guides? Yes, Absolutely. You should always get a copy of the OG no matter if you are studying on your own with books, with a course or a tutor. The Official Guides contain one of the most precious commodities - official questions and they are worth studying with. Q: Should I buy a used version? Do NOT get a used version of the guide as you will miss out on the online questions and most of the Data Insights questions are not printed in the book and only available online in the online question bank, so you have to get that book (at least) new in order to access the questions using the included digital access code. Q: Is it worth waiting for it? As a note, usually it is NOT worth waiting for the new OG to come out to start your preparation. You should instead buy the current version and start studying sooner. Most editions feature only about 15% of new questions and if you do the math, that means over 3 years only about 45% of the questions get renewed/refreshed and some years (e.g. 2020, 2023), and a few others, the questions did not get updated, so over 50% of the questions you see today in the OG are from the guides in 2019, just FYI. Q: Will I encounter these questions on the Exam? You will not encounter these exact questions on the exam but you will encounter similar questions. Also, the guide will help you get familiar with patterns and logic used on the GMAT, the concepts of scope and critical reasoning. Good luck! Let me know if any questions 👍

I know there are usually 15% new questions for each new edition of the Official Guide. Compared to 2023-2024, should I buy the new 2025-2026 version? Don't know if there was ever an instance were questions were the same for two years.

Yes. 2023 and 2024 guides were the same and 2021/2022 were the same as well.

Got it, thank you. So the 2023-2024 (which I have) and 2024-2025 Official Guides were the same.

Just to confirm, the 2025-2026 Official Guide is not much different compared to 2024-2025 Official Guide, correct? In this case, I will look for additional practice.

Do you know what is the difference between "GMAT Official Practice Questions - Quantitative" vs. "GMAT Official Guide Quantitative Review 2025-2026: eBook & Online Question Bank"? Are they essentially the same for Quant but just with different official questions and do you have a recommendation for one over the other?

Hi. Sorry, I was incorrect.
There was no guide published in 2022 (you can say it was the same I guess), So the 2023-2024 was the same was 2022 Guide which was published in 2021

The 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 are not the same. They have the usual 15% new questions (85% overlap).
Note that the 2024-2025 online question bank includes both the new questions and the questions that were dropped from the edition to make room for the new questions.
