GMAC's New Product GMAT Official Advanced Questions is Here!
The new book is out and is available for immediate use:
Here is a brief overview and some discoveries about the book and its contents:
Here is the Overview by the Number of Questions, Total: 300
My Take:
How to Get It?
So far only available on Amazon for $30 but I suspect it will be available at Wiley/Efficient Learning and also on GMAC's website in the coming weeks. Currently there is only an option to win it for free (GMAC is running a contest right now to win 5 copies)
What do you think about the cover?
The new book is out and is available for immediate use:
- Wiley for $30 online (immediate access) OR
- in Print at Amazon.com for $22
- GMAT Club Question Directory
Here is a brief overview and some discoveries about the book and its contents:
- There are 150 Quant and 150 Verbal Questions.
- 67 PS Questions
- 83 DS Questions
- 50 RC's (I saw at least one RC I did not recognize)
- 49 CR's
- 51 SC's
- The categories that these are split into are very odd and unusual but the GREAT news is that these match the ESR categories. For example, CR is split into Analysis/Critique and Construction/Plan and SC into Communication and Grammar. If one of you figures out the meaning behind these, let me know
- There are some combinations and bold face questions
- Probably the most valuable aspect of the book is that it contains EXPLANATIONS. While I have been able to find some of the questions from the old Power Prep Software, those questions never had explanations (just like their cousins in the GMAT Prep online), so it is great and helpful to get those explanations and resolve those decade-long debates we had about why some of the CR/SC answer choices were wrong.
Should You Buy It?
$22 for 100 new hard questions + 200 old ones in a single collection is a good deal compared to new OG editions to get 100 new easy/medium questions for $35. It is going to esp. valuable for retakers who ordered ESR's since this book actually matches those categories. I was somewhat cold about it at first, but I think it is a BUY in my book (sorry for the bad pun). On a serious note, if you are struggling with the GMAT, this book is not for you and it is only going to distract you. On the other hand, if you are up there and looking to bump up your score a bit, this collection of Harder Official Questions and Explanations!!! and a Match for ESR categories (helpful to retakers) is going to be very handy and it is a fairly inexpensive add on. The main value would be from those 150 Explanations for the Verbal section. However, I would NOT replace the main OG with this book and would only buy it in addition. I am going to do a deeper dive once I get my print copy this weekend. Get one from Amazon.

Here is the Overview by the Number of Questions, Total: 300
My Take:
- Any new products from GMAC is great news! The last product they released was the ExamPack 2 (Tests 5&6) which has come out over 3 years ago.
- Advanced means hard and that's always a positive!
- Both Quant and Verbal questions are included and I am assuming with explanations!
- $30 for 300 HARD official questions is a pretty good deal in my book. I will definitely get a copy on Amazon (and will share my impressions once I get my hands on it)
- Would I delay or reschedule my test because of this book? Definitely not
- Best use? Use an error log/guide to find specific questions for practice you need or just
- I am a bit concerned that these questions will not be new to the world but perhaps old OG 10 questions or retired GMAT Prep questions. I am hoping I am wrong but we have seen this pattern in the past with the Exam Packs and Official Guides

It looks there will be 100 brand new questions. 46 verbal questions and 54 quantitative questions are never before seen and have not appeared in any previous GMAT Official Prep products.
I, for one, am very much looking forward to taking a look at these 100 new questions.

so keep in mind that it is collection of 300 hard questions but only 100 or so are really new. Still a decent deal for $22+tax but don't expect it to blow you away.
