I bought Kaplan 2012-13 premier. How much is the content of Kaplan GMAT 2012-13 premier differ from 2011 premier. I am following your 60 days to GMAT crash course.

I also have Manhattan SC and CR Strategy Guide. OG 12 and OG verbal and Quantitative review 2nd edition books.

Unfortunately, the 2012-2013 edition is quite a bit different from previous editions. So, you'll have to hunt around to find the necessary pages.
For example, on one day you may be asked to review Algebra on pages X to Y (in the previous edition). So, with the 2012-2013 edition, you'll have to search for the relevant pages.
That said, it can still be done.

I hope that helps,
Brent

PS: In the next week or 2, we will be releasing the updated version of the Study Guide, which will include IR.

Hello,

I purchased the Kaplan 2013 before your new 60 day plan came out. Is there any way to use that instead of the M GMAT series and videos? I'm on a super tight budget and was hoping to do so.

Thanks

I think it would be hard to use the Kaplan book with the 60-Day Study Guide. Having said that, it wouldn't hurt to try. Each day, you'll have to find corresponding material in the Kaplan book.

So, for example, on Day 7, we cover ratios. In the Day 7 email, students are told which videos to watch (if they've purchased the videos) or which MGMAT pages to read (if they've purchased the MGMAT books). So, for that day (and every other day), you'll have to find where ratios are taught in the Kaplan book.

I hope that helps.

Cheers,
Brent
