GMAT Official Guide Data Insights Review 2023-2024, Focus Edition

Maybe something is in the online question bank. I do not know frankly....

In the book the only questions are those you see all repeated but the #28

I did not redeem the online bank yet. I am focusing on the books at the moment

IMO the online question bank would be for IR questions only.. had there been any new question type then the same should have been given in the OG as well , which the case isn't ... nevertheless will wait for you to complete the comparison.. as then only can conclude on anything about the new release..
thanks and appreciate your dedication carcass

Thanks

However, keep in mind that IF the main OG and the DI guide have zero but one new question, I do not think we will have in the QR and VR guides.

I did not see them yet but I know already.

yes you are right carcass.. but there is a GMAT™ Focus Official Practice Questions Bundle as well , not sure whether there we may get to see any new questions?

also unlike the previous editions when gmac released new OG I assume 2020 edition there they had then mentioned new , unseen questions .. but this time around GMAC has not mentioned anything like this on any of its new released books which could be a takeaway of expecting no new question...

Who wants to be sucker to shell out $79 and tell us that there are no new questions? Who is going to take the bait?

I guess for someone who is starting to study, and who has not used previous resources, this is still valuable since all questions are new to them but for the old timers probably not so much...

Let me tell you a little story.

When, long time ago, the Metallica albums Load and Re-load were released we had a round table among friends with some beer to discuss the new albums.

Already from the covers that were really ugly for a thrash band we have had a bad omen

Then, we started to see if some riff was heavier than others, some bridge was thrashy , and so forth. However, in the end we were trying to see what was not there in reality. Those songs and albums were crap. Light years from the golden era.

All this to say what: already from the main OG with no new questions and going further into the other OGs we are trying to see what, in reality, is NOT contained in them.

That's the point.

I have purchased the most expensive product on the GMAT store for the new focus edition https://www.mba.com/exam-prep/gmat-offi ... stion-bank and the result = zero

Buying or having the following https://www.mba.com/exam-prep/gmat-focu ... ons-bundle will not change the result.

Moreover, if you see GMAT™ Focus Official Practice Questions - Data Insights https://www.mba.com/exam-prep/gmat-focu ... a-insights in the description we do have



you have DS + IR. Period.

Not only that: now that I have all the guides they simply did the following - at least at the moment I am writing

• main OG
• QR - they inserted just the problem solving
• VR - they just inserted the RC and CR
• DI - they just inserted the DS questions

I do not know for what arcane reason they have just added one book instead to insert the DS into the quantitative review book.

Why all this? Marketing strategy at its finest? .......who knows

Does anyone want to bet $29 that there are no new questions in the verbal question pack?

Well, I found a sucker - ME! I bought GMAT™ Focus Official Practice Questions – Verbal

Spent the last few hrs going through the questions and comparing them to the other question pack and they are all repeats (minus the SC).
One annoying feature of the online question bank is that RC's are served separately and split up. Not sure why or how that happened but was pretty annoying. I only got RC's and CR's (I think they simply deleted the SC"s)

P.S. the Promo Code SKILLS10 works by the way. If you are going to buy one of the Question packs, use the code to get 10% off.
Anyway, if you have not used the question product from before, definitely a good source of 110 official RC's and CR's but if you have this product already, then it won't give you anything new.

P.S. You get access for 1 year. I did not find that mentioned anywhere in the description or the details of the product.
I did not buy Data Insights or the Quant Question collection - still licking my wounds from this purchase.

Good Luck to all the hunters!

My interest is piqued by the singular new question of
No.28 Statistics and Sets Problems Was the average (arithmetic mean) sale price of a new home in region R

When will we have the chance to try the question out at gmatclub?

zhanbo -

carcass has posted the question on the forum. Here is the link to the question -

Thank you! I got it right!

Interesting. The new question is quite similar to this one:

Hello Dear friend
Hello Dear carcass
Hello Dear Sajjad1994
I was looking at the GMAT Site and I found these two resources for Data insight
https://www.mba.com/exam-prep/gmat-focu ... a-insights
https://www.mba.com/exam-prep/gmat-offi ... stion-bank
Are these similar?
Do you think buying them is valuable? In online format question, do they provide any new questions?
are the question provided in this link: https://gmatclub.com/forum/data-insight ... x-100.html
offer the same questions? (I chose to answer those as labeled focus edition)
I would appreciate for your response

I haven't used these products, so I am not the person to answer, but I can guess these are different products, and you will see plenty of unique questions, but this is just my guess.

Best wishes.

nazii I have them both. They are good, and include questions that aren't in other sources.

Dear GMATCoachBen
Thank you so much my friend to share your experience
Just one more question, do they have similar questions? Do you recommend buying both, if they consist of totally different questions? I was wondering maybe the two have common questions, and which one is more complete?
BEST REGARDS AND APPRECIATE YOU
