At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

Hello All,
New member of the forum here, but a longtime reader.
I am about to embark on my GMAT journey and after much research have decided to utilize the Manhattan Prep books. I need to score in the 700s, so I will also be making sure to use the two ebooks with the advanced content since, alongside all the Official GMAT books from GMAC, including the advanced problems one.
My only concern is that Manhattan still maps their suggested test problems to the 2020 official guide while GMAC has released its 2021 version recently. I also confirmed via a discussion with Manhattan this AM that they are in the process of updating their content to map to the 2021 official guide from GMAC, and will likely finish the end of September/October.
My current goal is to take the GMAT in the early to mid-November timeframe, so as to give me a solid 2.5 to 3 months of study, but this means I would likely have to repurchase the official guide when Manhattan switched over to the 2021 version.
I know ultimately repurchasing the official guide book when Manhattan makes the switch is not all that costly, but it is a bit of a nuisance.
I am wondering if anyone has any advice on the best path forward here and whether I should consider a different prep company for my materials, or just suck it up and plan to purchase the 2021 official guide when Manhattan switches?
Thanks so much for your guidance!

Hello, raptormach2. If you are eager to begin your prep, then get started. Why wait around for a month or more and grow increasingly anxious? Depending on where you may be starting from, in terms of a score range, you may need more time to reach your target score. As long as you achieve the desired result, trust me, you will not care whether you used the OG 2020 or OG 2021. In fact, I do not even own a copy of the most recent edition. Most of the questions get recycled from one edition to another anyway, and you can find the new ones on this site (between 90 and 95, by my count, from the last edition to this one, with no new RC passages). Many top-scoring candidates start with the Manhattan Prep guides. If, at some point, you feel compelled to purchase the OG 2021, then so be it.
Nothing will ever align perfectly. Just jump in and see if you can maintain or even build upon your initial enthusiasm to master the material. Good luck.
