My friend told me official guide 2016 has 25% more materials.

I already have 13th edition does it mean I'll face disadvantage if I study 13th edition.

Your friend is right that roughly 25% of questions in the 2016 Official Guide are new, but the new questions aren't testing new concepts. It's perfectly acceptable to use the older version, so long as you make sure you really understand the mechanics of the problems in that book. Once you've worked through the entire guide, and you want more practice material, my advice would be to pick up the question pack from mba.com: https://www.mba.com/us/store/store-catal ... ack-1.aspx

"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."
