Please reply.

I own the 3rd edition and I consider buying the 4th edition. What are the differences between them?

I didnt pay attention on the edditions of the guides when I bought mine on amazon. As a result I got a combination of 3rd and 4th edition guides from GMAT. I can tell you only one thing, I have did not notice any differences in the 3rd and 4th editions other than question sets that are designed for different editions of OG. After completing one topic from third edition and then moving to the next one which is in the 4th edition I did not notice any stylistic differences what so ever. I would be surprised to find out that content other than updated question sets are different in the 4th edition of the guides than in my 3rd editions.

Ok thanks!

Then I guess I will not buy it.

I thought new content may have been added. For instance, I think the fact that possessive pronouns can refer to possessive nouns is not very well explained in the 3rd edition.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
