Does OG 12 contain all question from OG 10? or I have to go through OG 10 also?

OG 12 and OG 10 are said to have some overlap, but I believe you'll find mostly 'new' questions in the OG 12 book.

Hey eric,
I wanted to ask if I have OG10 and OG11,Is it sufficient for verbal practice alongwith the new OG12 or is it a must to buy the newest edition of the verbal review.
I have the manhattan and powerscore guides,so I wanted to ask if it is sufficient??


On another note,just check my suggestion for introduction of "captcha" in "Suggestions and Feedback" forum.
IS it feasible??
It takes time and effort to explain, so if my comment helped you please press Thanks button :)



Just because something is hard doesn't mean you shouldn't try,it means you should just try harder.

If you already have OG10 and OG11, I don't think it's necessary to buy OG12.

I'll address your other question in the other forum, thanks.

Thanks Eric for your information, just want to make sure, if I have OG 12 then no need to go for OG 10,11 so.. right? Kindly advice.

That's correct, if you have OG12 then I don't think you need to purchase the older versions.

Please check out my response to your post in the GMAT Strategy section. To summarize what I had said: check out my GMAT Blog first to see how you can start your prep, https://beatthegmat.blocked

Hi Eric,

I tried to load your blog (https://beatthegmat.blocked) many times, but I failed. Is it still online?
If everything is OK with your blog it seems that something wrong with my Internet-browser.

Is there any other links to this blog. I wanted to see your prep plan for GMAT. My friends said that your plan was well organised.

Thanks,
Michael Uritcky

I just checked out https://beatthegmat.blocked/ and the site is indeed still up on my end--can you try again?

Anyone else noticing an outage?

Not sure I understand your question--if you're referring to people's perspectives on the GMAT, I would take a look at the I just Beat The GMAT forum.

Hi,

Kindly advise on how to use flashcards that I downloaded from the link posted by you. I have never used it before.

Regards,
Jamila.
