Hi woohoo921,

If you are simply looking for additional retired Official Verbal questions for practice, then the books that you are referring to are essentially identical. That having been said, while the OG books are great sources for practice questions, they're not designed to teach you Tactics, patterns or the little 'secrets' behind the GMAT. If you're not scoring close to your Score Goal yet, then you would probably be better served by investing in some new Course-oriented materials.

It's been a little over 2 months since we last discussed your studies. How have you been scoring on your CATs/mocks since then? Is your Score Goal still 700+?

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich

2020 and 2022 are almost identical…. And They have been no updates since 2021 edition which usually has only about 10% 15% new questions.

For official guide, the addition does not really matter unless you’re trying to get access to the online question bank which isn’t very helpful so I wouldn’t get a newer edition of it is double.

Hi experts,

I was planning on buying the GMAT Official Guide Verbal Review book. I noticed that older versions (e.g., 2020) are half the price of the 2022 version. Is there a significant difference? I realize that there may be new questions, but would it be a mistake to buy this version versus spending a bit more for the latest?

Thank you!
