It is toooo much old version of ManhattanPrep. The latest version is 7th edition. You should try at least 6th edition-they're updating their book day by day though there is no huge difference between 6th edition and 7th edition so far i heard.

I'm planning to give GMAT exam on 15th December.
The books I am using for preparation are Manhattan GMAT 8 Strategy Guides (4th Edition), OG12, OG16, GMAT quantitative review (2nd Edition) and GMAT verbal review (2nd Edition).
Is there too much contrast between new and old edition books (asking for verbal and quant part)?
Second question, Which book should I use for IR?

Thank you.

Hi viaduct,

Since you're early-on in your studies, it's likely that you are still becoming familiar with the overall content and 'style' of the GMAT - so the fact that your 2 CAT Scores are so similar to one another isn't too surprising. That having been said, raising a 440 to the point that you can consistently score 650+ will likely require at least another 3 months of consistent, guided study - and you'll have to make significant improvements to how you handle BOTH the Quant and Verbal sections. Thankfully, the GMAT is a consistent, predictable Exam, so you CAN train to score at a higher level. However, a mid-December Test Date gives you just 2 months of additional study. While you don't have to change your overall plans just yet, it's likely that you will need a longer study timeframe than you have currently planned for.

1) What are the exact application deadlines for each of the Schools that you plan to apply to? What are the next set of deadlines after the upcoming ones?

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

Hi Viaduct,

I’m glad you reached out, and I’m happy to help. Since you scored 420 on your latest practice exam and are 230+ points from your score goal, would you like some general advice on how to improve your quant and verbal skills? Also, you may find it helpful to read the following articles:
