Gmat official guides

Question

Hi, when will the new edition i.e. 2021 GMAT official guides be in the market?
Also, as of now I only have access to 2017 and 2016 official guides. Which one can I refer to start my preparation?

You can start with the latest official guide that you have. GMAC releases 15% of additional questions every year. so you can start with OG 2017 and do the additional official questions later use this master directory to do so https://gmatclub.com/forum/gmac-officia ... 40610.html.

OG 2021 is expected somewhere around 1st week of may(might be delayed due to the current scenario)

Official guide will be released May so far i heard. You can access most of the recent official guides question from the following link... https://gmatclub.com/forum/gmac-officia ... 40610.html You can use any recent official guide. That's enough. Thanks__

Hi sakshiagarwal311,

There are no issues with using either the 2016 or 2017 OG. However, do you plan to use any other resources for your prep? Do you need any advice regarding your study plan?

Hi sakshiagarwal311,

Your posts over the last week have all implied that you've just begun your GMAT studies (or are about to sometime soon). The 'content' that is tested on the GMAT has remained fairly consistent over the years, meaning that you would be fine using either of the two Official Guides that you have (and you don't necessarily have to purchase the new GMAT2021 book).

Have you taken any practice CATs/mocks yet? If not, then it would be a good idea to take a FULL-LENGTH practice CAT Test sometime soon; you can access 2 for free from www.mba.com (and they come with some additional practice materials). If you want to do a bit of practice first, so that you can familiarize yourself with the general content and question types first, then that's fine - but you shouldn't wait too long to take that initial CAT. A FULL CAT takes about 3.5 hours to complete, so make sure that you've set aside enough time to take it in one sitting. Once you have your Score, you should report back here and we can discuss the results and come up with a study plan.

In addition, I'd like to know a bit more about your timeline and your goals:

1) What is your goal score?
2) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
