Official Guide and GMAC Software
The 11th Edition of The Official Guide for GMAT Review will debut this summer. The 800 questions in the Guide are retired GMAT questions, most of which have not appeared in previous editions. The new guide opens with a diagnostic section, consisting of approximately 50 Math and 50 Verbal questions. You don’t get a score after completing the section, but you do find out your level of possible performance (below average, average, above average, etc.) on each question type. GMAC will also be releasing two supplemental texts - The Official Guide for GMAT Quantitative Review and The Official Guide for GMAT Verbal Review. Each guide will have about 300 questions. The questions in the supplements differ from those in the 11th Edition, though all can be found in the 10th Edition.
GMAC has made an effort to improve the explanations in all of its guides and claims they will be much clearer in the new books. Two practice exams will be available via download and CD, just as they are now, but the software will be new. It will go under the name GMATPrep, rather than the current PowerPrep name. The questions on PowerPrep software largely overlap with the 10th Edition of the Official Guide. GMAC says that the new tests will have no overlap with the questions in the new guides.
The new guides and software are very welcome - it’s been a while since GMAC has released any new questions. The Princeton Review will provide the 11th Edition and both supplements as part of our GMAT courses.
