you have to buy it through mba.com...for now.

Note that you dont have to buy all three.

I would suggest buying the Official Guide 11th edition, but if you dont need a lot of practice with Math, you can simply buy the verbal guide.. vice versa if you dont need a lot of practice with verbal

It has already been out. Follow this link:
https://www.mba.com/mba/TaketheGMAT/Limi ... ftware.htm

By the way, the name is GMATPrep. I believe that the "PowerPrep" will be obsoleted soon.

The answer is "Yes, there is an overlap." However, I don't know about the worthiness.

The Princeton Review says, "The 11th Edition of The Official Guide for GMAT Review will debut this summer. The 800 questions in the Guide are retired GMAT questions, most of which have not appeared in previous editions."

Also it says, "GMAC will also be releasing two supplemental texts - The Official Guide for GMAT Quantitative Review and The Official Guide for GMAT Verbal Review. Each guide will have about 300 questions. The questions in the supplements differ from those in the 11th Edition, though all can be found in the 10th Edition."

(https://www.princetonreview.com/mba/testprep/testprep.asp?TPRPAGE=830&type=GMAT-LEARN )

If anyone bought these books already, please share your thoughts regarding those statements.

Today , I received OG11th + Verbal Review and Quant Review Books
I spent couple of minutes to compare them with my OG 10th edition

Here is what I found
OG 11th Edition
1. SC has only 138 Questions, I compared about 10-12 questions they are different. So it seems like SC questions in the 11th edition are different
2. CR 124 Questions. Compared first 5 , they are different.
3. RC 141 Questions, I compared first 5 passages and one was repeat form OG10 but the order was different..

So it seems like there may be couple of questions that are repeat from OG10..

Explanations of all the answers is nicely structured, easy to read and review as compared to the single paragraph explanation found in OG10.

Each explanation identifies the topic being tested. This is again a Plus.

The book is quite heavy due to use of nice quality paper,

I compared the Verbal Review Book by reading first couple of SC questions and they seems to be repeat from the OG10th edition.

Since, I have completed studying only 150 SC questions from OG10th .. So I went ahead and bought these 3 books.

These are the official books with real retired GMAT questions, with nice explanation. I feel they are definately worth buying if you have time to study and go through them.

well its now in stock, so I got my order :)

I read the FAQ and it says they have a problem with showing "out of stock" on items when ordered FRI-SUN... however, I even called on Monday and was told that it was out of stock from a rep.

Oh well, at least I got one "in stock". Now lets hope for a great score!

I did get the 11th ed. beofre they ran out. I have noticed that there seems to be a new batch of PS questions, but there is some overlap in DS questions from the 10th ed.

BTW, is it just me or does the GMAC website just seem to be the slowest and most unreliable site out there? Just an observation.

Maybe its just me but if you are short of time, doing GMAT Challenges will perhaps be an order of magnitude more help than a couple of dozen new questions from the new OG.

Just thought I'd put in a thought or two ...

While we're all comparing about the new OG, maybe we should think about practising not using paper and pen, but using the new system Paterson is using. That is, using white board and markers. I've not done the test, but there's a feedback here that the white board is actually just white laminated paper. I'm not too clear about that, but it's worth to get a feel of actual test conditions. Maybe someone who has taken the free test can feedback on what the white board actually is, the dimensions, the number of sheets, types of marker etc....

Peronally, I feel using white boards can affect me a little especially since it reflects light and makes the eyes tired... but that's just me :lol:

Read this post. You'll get some insights about white boards and markers.
https://www.gmatclub.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=122081

Additionally, somebody gave feedback that the test taker should not erase (by hand or something, because no eraser is provided) the work from the whiteboard, and if he or she needs more boards, then he or she must turn the used ones to get the new ones. The worst thing is that the proctor will give only two boards at a time.

If that is going to be the case in future, then those who make grids, write formulas, create time-reminders, etc on the scratch papers before starting the test must review their strategy, because the white boards going to be very scarce, and the test takers must find an efficient way of using the boards.

To me concept of using eraser and white board seems very cumbersome. In case u guys haven't taken ur GMATs yet, I wud recommend taking it before Jan 2006 to avoid all this mess. You still have few months left.
