Hi, i have a question ?
I'm going to take the GMAT the 22 of February. By mistake I bought the 12th version of the GMAT OG , now one month is missing from the exam and I have no time to buy another book and study it again. Someone know if that book , even if is an old version, is good for my preparation ? (I already know that is missing the IR section)

Hi, Please check the below links

The official guides are just collections of questions, so studying from them may not be the most efficient way to go about your prep. That said, the 12th edition can still be used. You don't need to get one of the newer editions.

Hi lacaca,

I’m glad you reached out, and I’m happy to help. So, you will not be at a disadvantage by using an older version of the Official Guide. That said, I see that your test is in only one week; have you taken any recent practice exams to get an updated score? What is your score goal and when are your application deadlines?

Feel free to reach out with further questions. Good luck!
