Hi Guys,
Is it necessary to buy the latest versions of OG and MGMAT books? Latest version of MGMAT is 6th edition and OG is 2016 edition.
I already have Official Guide available from 2014 (13th edition) and 5th edition of Manhattan books.
Also, how do you GMAC verbal and quants books? Are these as good as the OG? If yes, then I would prioritise these over MGMAT books.
Thanks a ton.

Hi sank,
From a 'content' standpoint, since the GMAT has not gone through any significant changes in some time, the books that you have are fine (and you don't need to purchase more-recent versions of those books). GMAC's Quant-specific and Verbal-specific books provide several hundred additional practice questions each, so if you're interested in more Official questions in 'book format', then you'd probably find those books useful. However, most Test Takers who use a 'book-heavy' study approach end up getting 'stuck' at a particular scoring level, so if your goal is to make a big improvement to your Quant/Verbal Scaled Scores, then you'll likely need to invest in different resources.

You will be fine with the older guides. The current Official Guide is not radically different from the OG 13th Edition. Yes, there is some new stuff in the current GMAT guide, but I would recommend you to spend that money on buying the GMATPrep Question Pack 1, and Exam Pack 1(two additional computer aided tests other than the two free ones that come with GMATPrep). Both of these software packages are extension of the free GMATPrep software.
The GMAC Quant and Verbal supplements are an additional set of 300 problems each, and contain all official GMAT problems, although not at the difficulty level of the actual exam. For that the GMATPrep, Question Pack 1, and Exam Pack 1 are better resources.
Cheers,
Dabral
