Difference between Manhattan guides 5th edition and 6th edit

Question

Hello Everyone,

Thanks for taking out time to read this. 
I am about to begin my GMAT Prep and I have made my mind on following Manhattan guides. 
I have the complete 5th Edition with me. 
Should I purchase the 6th edition or it's okay to go ahead with the 5th edition.

Thanks!!

I went through the algebra guide for both 5th and 6th edition. They were almost same. Not sure about the rest, but if I have to guess, probably not too many changes.

Hi sarphant,

To start, since you have the 5th edition of those books already, you likely don't need to purchase the 6th edition. However, many Test Takers who use a 'book heavy' study approach end up getting 'stuck' at a particular score level, so you might end up needing to invest in some additional, non-book resources.

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 take 2 for free at 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 3.5 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?

There probably is not much of a difference between the two editions, so you can use what you have.
