Hello All,
I am planning to give GMAT in Aug-Sep'2012 time.
I am going through 12thEd GMAT Off Guide and one/two 4th Ed. Manhattan GMAT books.
Are there going to be changes to these books ?
If yes are they going to be drastic ??

Beginning June 5, 2012, the GMAT will feature a new section called the Integrated Reasoning (IR) section. The addition of this 30-minute section will coincide with the removal of one of the 30-minute essay tasks (the Analysis of an Issue essay) in the AWA section.

In April, the OG13 will become available, and this book will include many practice questions for the new IR section. As such, I strongly encourage you to purchase the OG13 when it comes out.

Regarding changes to MGMAT's materials, you'll have to ask them about that.

Cheers,
Brent
