Is it really needed to purchase GMAT verbal Review 2021 if U have 2020 [#permalink] New post   12 Jun 2020, 23:47
I have gmat verbal review 2018 , 2019 , 2020 ; even I have OG 2021 . I have exhausted all the questions from all of the resources and there is no big / significant difference between OG 2021 and OG 2020 in verbal part. So is it required to buy verbal review 2021 if I have 2020 verbal review version ? What are the unique questions review of GMAT VERBAL REVIEW 2021 from GMAT VERBAL REVIEW 2020 ? Thanks in advance .

Hi soumya170293,

Each year, the new Official Guides that are released have many of the same practice questions as the versions from the prior year. Based on your studies so far, you won't see that much 'new' material if you purchase the GMAT2021 books, so you might find it more worthwhile to work with some new, non-print, practice materials

Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

Studies:
1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far?
3) On what dates did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?

Goals:
4) What is your overall goal score?
5) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
6) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

Hi Soumya170293,

You do not need to purchase the new version. Do you plan to use any other resources for your prep?

Thanks Rich & Scott for the reply .
I have all the official resources from OG 10 ( except verbal review 1 ) to OG 2020 . I am more enthusiastic in practising high quality official questions because my target score is more than 720 . So I am concerned about higher difficulty questions so that no hard or high-medium level official concepts would not be missed . I have not purchased only OG 2021 verbal review . So please tell me how many new questions are there in this year verbal review compared with the 2020 verbal review ? ( don’t need specific but by percentage if possible - even if there is only 10% new questions I ‘ll buy ) . I have checked there are very slight differences between OG 2020 and OG 21 ( except only some CR & some SC but those have helped me to grasp more concise approaches ) . Currently I am practising official question pack 2 . ( RC is really unique and some SC & CR also ) . I ‘ll appear in GMAT online next month just for checking whether I ‘m able to cross 700 .

Hi soumya170293,

From what you describe, you've put a heavy emphasis on working through lots of Official practice questions, but it's not clear HOW you've been working through them. The OG books are great sources for practice questions, but they're not designed to teach you Tactics, patterns or the little 'secrets' behind the GMAT - for those, you'll need Course-oriented materials.

Since you're interested in a Score Goal that's well above the 90th percentile, we need to be really specific about how you've been studying so far, so that we can make sure that you're training in the necessary ways to earn that type of Score. I asked a number of questions in my prior post, so before I can offer you any additional advice for your studies, I'll need to know the answers to those questions.
