Hello All!

This is my first post, and I am ready to beat the GMAT! I am giving myself 6 months to really make sure I do well. I don't want to have to take this test again :)

So onto my question! I noticed a couple books I'd like to purchase, but it looks like there are already some newer versions. Is it worth it to get the newest ones for..

- Manhattan GMAT Sentence Correction GMAT Preparation Guide, 4th Edition -> There is now a 5th edition.
- The PowerScore GMAT Critical Reasoning Bible -> This came out in 2005. I have to imagine there is a newer version?

Thanks for the feedback! Much appreciated :)

I am confused. Do you own the older versions? If not, definitely get the new ones. If you do and don't want to spend money on new books, then use those for now (not a ton changes) and see how you do on a practice exam after you complete some early prep.
