Are there any new set of questions in the new guides? Or good to continue prep using last year FE guides? :)
­Above, with the yellow highlights, we can now see 10 new DS questions and 1 new PS question.

I believe the analysis for verbal and DI is still being done.

Thanks for all this work carcass!

I have also heard from another source that there have been no changes to the critical reasoning or reading comprehension…

My understanding from spotcheck is that most of the new questions to this edition are from the Classic GMAT Prep that is about to be decommissioned.

­Thank you sir GMATCoachBen

Pairing the two OGs (last and current year) is time-consuming. Of course, you can quickly get the new questions at a glance. However, doing the table is a little bit annoying.

Thanks for the support sir.

Hi Experts,

Is it worth buying OG 2024-25 for additional questions? I have already spent my money on OG bundle 2023-24 and have started practicing ques from it. I have to book my exam at the end of June or the beginning of July. So please advise accordingly.­

GMATCoachBen carcass please advise how to take on this.


Thank you,
Pooja

­Hi

In my view, considering you have already booked your exam and have the OG 2023-2024, it is not worth some extra questions to purchase again. Cost-effective strategy

For those who have to start the preparation from scratch, I strongly advise buying all books because:

1) More questions in each book respect the last year's version.
2) You have also the online question bank which is worth

Regards

­ carcass Thank you so much for your response. It does make complete sense that I shouldn't invest more money in the latest OG 2024-25 edition. Thank you for the great suggestion.

Have a nice day!

Hi, new here.

If I understand correctly, the table presented are the questions from the official guide 2024-2025 correct? GMAT has classified the questions as E,M,H...how do the difficulty ratings presented in the table above differ? What metric(s) were used in your assessment of question difficulty?

Looks like you’ve added a 4th category of very hard...what score range would those correspond to (i.e. +705)?

Thanks

Hi. The difficulty readings were likely taken from the timers on GMAT Club which traditionally represent them more accurate picture, as they are based on real usage data though they can be skewed in certain categories. no tool is perfect.

The very hard category is something of an exceptional difficulty which unless you’re shooting for the highest score, you really do not need to touch because you will never face that question. If you do face a question like that, getting it wrong would not impact your score much.

Hope it helps.

Hi,

I'm starting my GMAT prep and need clarification on whether there is any quantitative or qualitative difference between the GMAT OG 202425 available on Amazon and MBA dot com.

I am hoping for a response!

Thanks

Hi Veee17,

Practically speaking, there's no difference. Get the cheaper one (most likely the print book). The print book also comes with a code that you can use to access the online question bank + IR-type questions (access valid for 1 year).

Hi Ajitesh,

I have got the printed version of the books. The books have the India edition printed on them. Will it make any difference or should I buy the US edition?

Thanks
