I’ve seen the MGMAT set recommended throughout this forum and have decided to purchase the 6th edition set. However, when I go on Amazon, it looks like only used sets are available for ~$100, many of which say they have writing on them or online codes missing, or a “new” set from third party resellers for $299. How important are the online access codes and would you recommend buying new or used? Thanks!

Welcome to GMAT Club
MGMAT 6th edition guides are previous version guides. There is a new version available in Amazon you can check it out as well. The new edition should be available for around 160$ which includes access to 6 practice tests. If you are buying a new guide, you can check for good offers in Amazon for Black Friday deals.

Hi MbaFL58,
When it comes to studying for the GMAT, there are a variety of different study materials that you might choose to use. Before you invest in any additional materials, it would help to know a bit more about how you've been studying so far and your goals:
Studies:
1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials do you currently have access to?
3) Have you taken any practice CATs/mocks yet? On what dates did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
Goals:
4) What is your overall goal score?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
If 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 that Score, you should report back here and we can come up with a study plan.
