Hi Mags112,

From what I understand, the 2012 version is quite similar to the 2011 version, so it should be fne to use.

Cheers,
Brent

Hi Sachin,

Now that I've had a chance to review the 2012 version, I can tell you that they are almost identical. So, you can use either version with the 60-Day Study Guide.

I know you've said this twice before on the post that the 2012 edition is the same as 2011 edition. But, I still have a question. Some of the 60-day guide's emails suggest taking problems/practice tests from the 2011 edition while other suggest taking tests/problems from 2012. Now the Error guide must have been made for 2011. So, how do I really know whether my answer is correctly analyzed by the Error tracking tool ?

Thanks,
Aditya

Hi Aditya,

All of the resources created for the Kaplan 2011 book also work with the Kaplan 2012.
- The page numbers in both books are nearly identical, so any pages referenced in the daily emails are closely aligned with each book.
- The OG12 Error log (excel file) is for the OG12. There's no reference to the Kaplan book here, so it doesn't matter which Kaplan book you have.
- The GMAT Progress Chart (excel file) is used to track your progress as you take practice tests in the CD-ROM that comes with the Kaplan 2011/2012 book. The CD-ROM questions for the Kaplan 2011 book are identical to the CD-ROM questions for the Kaplan 2012 book. So, you can use the Progress Chart for either book.

I hope that helps.
Cheers,
Brent

Thanks for such a quick reply. I really value the experience (consumer satisfaction so to speak) on this Forum. I got slightly confused by the anwer logs - I thought that it existed for the Kaplan book as well (which ofcourse is not needed).

Thanks again for clarifying that doubt.

Aditya

No problem - when we first created the Study Guide, we often confused the two Excel spreadsheets ourselves
