Is it worth getting the new editions of these books?

by SethBahookey » Mon Mar 25, 2013 3:26 pm

Hello All!

This is my first post, and I am ready to beat the GMAT! I am giving myself 6 months to really make sure I do well. I don't want to have to take this test again

So onto my question! I noticed a couple books I'd like to purchase, but it looks like there are already some newer versions. Is it worth it to get the newest ones for..

- Manhattan GMAT Sentence Correction GMAT Preparation Guide, 4th Edition -> There is now a 5th edition.
- The PowerScore GMAT Critical Reasoning Bible -> This came out in 2005. I have to imagine there is a newer version?

Thanks for the feedback! Much appreciated

I am confused. Do you own the older versions? If not, definitely get the new ones. If you do and don't want to spend money on new books, then use those for now (not a ton changes) and see how you do on a practice exam after you complete some early prep.

"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."
