Dear Experts,

I am currently studying through OG 2013 & MGMAT Study guides, would you recommend to buy OG 2016 guide.

What i am thinking is, although I have enough resources with me to study but still OG 2016 guide might contains some new questions that are important for test this year. Am I in correct way?

Please suggest.

Any extra questions from the GMAC are always better than from any other sources.
25% extra questions are worth every penny. You can save some money if you go for the e-book from wiley.com.
But if you have not bought GMATPrep Question pack 1, then first buy the pack .

HI Kaushikghosh,

You certainly have plenty of print materials to keep you busy for some time. However, many Test Takers who use a 'book-heavy' study approach end up getting 'stuck' at a particular scoring level, so it's important to keep a certain degree of flexibility with your study plans (since you will likely have to incorporate different resources along the way).

1) How long have you studied?
2) How have you scored on each of your CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?

3) What is your goal score?
4) When are you planning to take the GMAT?

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

Kaushik,

If we compare the Official Guides from 2016 to 2013, most of the added questions are in the easy category. Now that would be important if you are scoring close to the average GMAT scores, but for students scoring high I don't see much of a return in buying OG 2016 in addition to the older guides. You would be better off spending that money on GMATPrep Question Pack 1, Exam Pack 1, GMAT Focus etc.

Cheers,
Dabral
