Hi All,

I needed some advice on whether to buy OG 12 for my preparation. It would be my second attempt at GMAT. I scored a 650 last year and am preparing for my second attempt in August this year.
I already have OGs 10 and 11 and thinking on whether it is required to buy OG 12.
Can some one please advice? Is it worth while to buy the New OG? I have read through some online analysis about OG 12 and i gather that there are a few DS questions which have been added. Other than that there seems to be no major difference.

Any inputs on this would be very useful.

The book sells for $21.60 at Amazon.com as of today. There is no requirement per se to purchase 12th ed if you already have the 11th, but given that it's basically $20, I don't think it can be classified as being too expensive to purchase the 12th ed if you want the latest questions.

I have read that there's about 300 new questions out of the total 1000 questions.

If $20 is not a big deal to you, then I would recommend buying the new edition. If $20 is a big deal to you, then don't buy it. It's not like the GMAT has completely changed since the 11th ed.

I'd get the latest edition, there're some benefits after all, having the latest edition of the book (not in case of Kaplan books) especially if it's Official Guides 'GMAT.

This article may help decide..
as why you should buy OG 12th 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."
