Guys

Today I saw the latest edition (2017 version) of OGs up for sale on www.mba.com.

Wanted to understand if these books are worth the money when one already has the 2016 versions?

Please suggest

Thanks

Depends on how much you're willing to pay for more GMAT questions. The 2017 looks okay, but I don't think anyone who already has the 2016 needs to get the 2017. Not too many new questions, and most of the new questions are quite easy (I'm talking about the verbal section). Good book, just not for someone looking for (many) more practice questions.

How much do you value official questions?

Hi gmat730must,

To start, you would likely find it at cheaper price on Amazon.com. Since you already have the OG2016, you likely don't *need* the GMAT2017; although the cost of that book is relatively low, especially when compared to many of the other resources that you can purchase.

1) What practice materials have you used so far?
2) When are you planning to take the GMAT?

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