The 60-Day GMAT Study Guide

Hi,

I have a few quick questions. I signed up for the Beat the GMAT e-mails about 1-2 years ago. Things came up and I wasn't able to keep up with it. I restarted studying a few days ago, and am staying on track with the corresponding days from the prior e-mails.

To see if anything was updated from a year ago, I re-signed up to receive the e-mails again. I noticed that now the Kaplan Book has been replaced by the Manhattan GMAT books. What was the reason for this change? Are the Manhattan GMAT (MGMAT) books better? I have access to both books, so a financial burden isn't an issue. Since I have only done through Day 6, I am more then happy to make the switch and quickly review the MGMAT for the sections I've already covered, and continue with the MGMAT books going forward.

My second question is with regards to Day 5 of the "updated e-mails" (including MGMAT). Day 5 pertains to Arithmetic and Work. I don't see a section to review the Work in this e-mail. Was it missed or is Work a subsection of Positive and Negatives, PEMDAS, Digits and Decimals, or Fractions??

I have copied the assignments for Day 5 from the current e-mail distribution, and from the prior (dated) distribution below.
