Hi GMAT folks,
Does anyone recommend the OG GMAT guides (all 3) 2016 OR 2017?
I noticed online on Amazon, the 2016 version is selling for $65, and the 2017 for $41 minimum. The fact that the 2016 version is more expensive makes me lean towards that. Please guide me in which version is more effective with their Questions database, strategies, etc.
Thanks in advance!

They're actually quite similar. As in, a lot of the questions are the same, and you won't go wrong with either. As it makes no difference whether you go for the 2016 or the 2017, I suggest you go with the cheaper set. Of course, it'd be great if you could get your hands on the questions that are not common to both as well. Does anyone recommend the OG GMAT guides (all 3) 2016 OR 2017?

Hi priteshw,
Those sets of books have a lot of 'overlap' - meaning that they present much of the same material and practice questions - so either one would be fine. It's important to note that you will almost certainly end up using lots of additional study materials besides just those books though.
Since it sounds like you're just beginning your studies, then it would be a good idea to take a FULL-LENGTH practice CAT Test; you can download 2 for free from www.mba.com (and they come with some additional practice materials). If you want to do a little studying first, so that you can familiarize yourself with the basic content and question types, then that's okay - but you shouldn't wait too long to take that initial CAT. That score will give us a good sense of your natural strengths and weaknesses and will help provide a basis for comparison as you continue to study. A FULL CAT takes about 4 hours to complete, so make sure that you've set aside enough time to take it in one sitting. Once you have those scores, you should report back here and we can come up with a study plan.
I'd like to know a bit more about your timeline and goals:
1) What is your goal score?
2) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
