Which to cover first - OG 10 or OG 11?

by surajsagi » Tue Apr 22, 2008 3:52 am
Hi All,

I have both OG 10 and 11 with me - however, i am slighly confused as to which book i should pick first

OG -10 has many more quaestion as compared to OG -11. I am not sure, if there is question repetition in OG 11

Similarly, I am not sure if i should invest in OG - verbal and Quant additions. It would be great, if someone can share a softcopy

Let me know your thought

Thanks,
SM

I think you should do OG 10 and if you are using manhatten guide then also OG 10 as most of the examples are from that only.

Leave OG 11 for now as you are right OG 11 has less number of questions comparable to OG 10.

OG 10 has about 75% overlap with the questions contained in the three new books (OG11, Quant, and Verbal). So... doesn't matter so much if you've got both.

Also, agent47 said to use OG10 if you're using our guides b/c "most of the examples are from that only." That's true if you're using old versions of our guides (the ones that were published concurrent with OG10). If you are using post-2005 versions, then the problem sets are from OG11 and the quant and verbal supplements.
