Hi everyone,
I wanted to ask how much overlap there is between the GMAT standard and GMAT Focus.
I have gone through the syllabus which on high-level looks same for both except with some chapters/topics not being in GMAT Focus but it has data insight, which I assume is IR
I am scoring 700+ in GMAT standard but I heard that it might close on Jan 41 so want to know that should I spend time on this or start GMAT Focus. If anyone knows that overlap let me know. And if someone can give deeper dive in terms of how much preparation in one is equivalent to preparation in other?
Thanks

Broadly, the Focus edition would consists of 3 sections (Verbal, Quantitative and Data Insights) all equally weighted towards the total score. Some pointers and differences b/w Focus and Classic editions:
Verbal:
1. The Verbal section in Focus edition consists only of Reading Comprehension and Critical Reasoning questions.
2. Sentence Correction questions have been removed from Focus.
3. The number of questions in the Verbal section has been reduced from 36 (Classic) to 23 (Focus).
Quantitative:
1. The Quantitative section in Focus edition now exclusively features Problem-Solving questions.
2. Data Sufficiency questions have been moved to the newly introduced Data Insights section.
3. Geometry is no longer tested in the Quantitative section. The focus is on arithmetic and algebra.
4. The number of questions in the Quantitative section has been reduced to 21.
Data Insights:
1. This section is broadly IR + Data Sufficiency (which was part of Classic's Quant sub-section), and consists of the following sub-sections:
a. Data Sufficiency: Tests your ability to analyze a quantitative problem and determine whether the available data is sufficient to solve it.
b. Multi-Source Reasoning: Evaluates your capacity to analyze data from multiple sources and identify discrepancies or draw inferences regarding the relevance of specific data points.
c. Table Analysis: Measures your proficiency in analyzing and organizing data presented in a table format.
d. Graphics Interpretation: Assesses your aptitude for interpreting graphical data, making inferences, and recognizing relationships between different elements.
e. Two-Part Analysis: Evaluates your ability to solve complex problems using either quantitative or verbal reasoning techniques.
2. The number of questions in Data Insights section will be 20.

The main differences are Removal of AWA and SC from Focus as well as removal of most of geometry. Otherwise, same questions, same material, and same concepts. The DI questions have been changed somewhat in format from the IR but not a whole lot. The underlying material is still the same so it won't be much of an adjustment going to the focus.
