Hi Jeremy,
Can you please shed light on this -

Is the exclusive online portal that is included in OG 2016 (and its supplements) JUST an online representation (sort of e-book) of the OG 2016 ? I mean, are the questions in the online portal and in the hard-copy of the OG 2016 completely SAME?

If not then are there any overlaps between the Questions from OG 2016 and those from online portal that comes with OG 2016 ?

Look forward to hear from you!

Hello,

Yes, the questions in the book and web portal are the same. However, the online portal also has exclusive videos providing insights and study tips from actual test takers. This online component also allows you to create your own practice sets and exams, arranging questions by subject or difficulty level. The online portal has a practice mode and an exam mode. In practice mode, you can view the answer & explanations for each question right away, while in exam mode you don't see them until the end of the test. However, the online exam mode is not a timed & computer-adaptive representation of the actual GMAT exam.

Thanks,
Jeremy
