I got to know that GMAC has released the 12th Edition of Office Guide. I am giving the exam in June and I recently purchased the 11th Edition. I understand that there are 300 new questions added to the 12th Edition.

I would like to know if anyone has already looked into the book and whether it is worth it for me to buy this book now. I have loads of other stuff that I can practice on but since GMAC is the source, want to get your perspective as well. Let me know guys!! Thanks.

I'd say get the OG12 if you're done with OG11. However if you only recently got the OG11, I'd say to work from that (unless money is not an object).

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
