Hi All,
I have taken the GMAT Test with miserable results and am appearing this year again.
I am using OG - 11. Is there a drastic change in 12th Edition? Do I really need to purchase the new edition or 11th Edition will do it for me?

If you already have OG 11, I wouldn't purchase a new book. The content should be quite sufficient to help you prep for the test.

However, that being said, it never hurts to study from the latest editions of prep books if you have the disposable income.

Thanks a lot for your advice.
I have already taken my GMAT once, was scoring very well in the Manhattan and GMATPrep tests - averaged above 690.
But did miserable on the d-day in Quant.
I have given myself another month and a half now to prepare.
Any particular tips apart from working hard, cuz that's what I am doing right now.

"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."
