OG -11 versus 12

by kauldheeraj » Sun Aug 16, 2009 9:20 pm
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.

errm, I've bit different opinion. In following article I've stated the reasons why you should buy OG GMAT 12th Edition.
