I am sorry to say it JonShukhrat but the 7th edition contains less material than the 6th by about 20-30%
More info on the comparison: https://gmatclub.com/forum/manhattan-gm ... 05147.html

I am not sure I would recommend getting a 7th edition to anyone who owns a 6th one already.

Dear bb,

Thank you very much for your message. I read your post the day it was published. There are several reasons for the cut in the page volume:
- The books are indeed more densely written, every page containing more information.
- Advanced chapters of the books are organized as separate advanced guides that are available only as e-books. “All the Verbal Companion” has 73 pages and “All the Quant Companion” has 127 pages. Once again they pack more info than before.
- Most of the practice questions and guidance are now in ATLAS, which was not available before.
- Complete study plan has also been moved to ATLAS.
- Besides, while counting the page volume, one should consider ATLAS because it has more information than 6th and 7th editions taken altogether.

I have reread 6th edition SC guide many times and almost know it by heart. I’ve also gone through PowerScore Bibles. And now I’ve almost finished the new bundle. I am sure that 7th edition verbal guide has an unparallel content, especially SC guide. For me the 7th edition of the verbal part is a big jump over the 6th, the part most aspirants struggle with.

Thank you. Before I start addressing your points. Can you please link where I could purchase/download the All the Verbal Companion and All the Quant Companion?
Is that within the MGMAT student area? Is it a free book/add on?

Dear bb,

With the new bundle, you should have access to Atlas, from which you can download ePub versions of those advanced books. However, I have no idea about how to access Atlas when you buy books yourself (for the course students MGMAT provides instructions via email). At the bottom of the page 15 in All the Verbal you can see the following info “Advanced material for the SC unit can be found in Atlas, your online learning platform, on the Manhattan Prep website. Use online material only if you feel that you have mastered everything in the SC unit of this strategy guide and you are aiming for a Verbal Section score of 42 or higher”. Besides, advanced verbal book has separate chapter for CR too. I think those who bought the new bundle via Amazon should contact MGMAT, and those, who bought directly from the website of MGMAT, have already received emails with necessary instructions.

Thanks. I suspected something was off. I will explore the online resources and see what is available to me. I have not registered as usually I give away question banks online access to moderators in need and did not want to waste it just for a review.

PS. I will review the SC books again and see how they compare page by page. I have only spotted small differences that were not material in my page turn comparison.
