Details on the new GMAT products to be released in the summer of 2005, including the 11th edition of the Official Guide for GMAT Review. 
Update: It doesn't look like GMAC will have the 11th edition of the Official Guide by the end of July; GMAC have said that there is no set release date, but that they hope it will be available by the end of July. However, this price-comparison tool is giving February, 2007 as the publication date of the 11th Edition of the Official Guide for GMAT Review.
It has been reported that GMAC will be publishing the 11th edition of the Official Guide for GMAT Review in the summer of 2005. The 10th edition of the Official Guide has been available for several years now, but GMAT test takers have long complained about the overlap between its questions and the GMAT PowerPrep software. Furthermore, many people have complained that the questions in the current Official Guide are too easy and that they need more practice material to compete with the stellar GMAT scores of some of the most aggressive and capable GMAT test takers. GMAT takers are always eager for more official GMAT practice material, but new, official GMAT material is not released frequently enough for the hard-core GMAT takers. The last release of official GMAT material was in the form of downloadable PDF files, which in GMATland we call GMAT paper tests, but many of these questions are contained in previous editions of the Official Guide.
The new 11th edition of the Official Guide will contain 800 questions that are "retired" GMAT questions (meaning they were once used on a real GMAT), most of which GMAC claims have not appeared before in previous editions of the Official Guide (many of the various versions of the Official Guide reuse questions from previous editions). The new Official Guide is reported to contain a diagnostic test with approximately 100 GMAT questions (half verbal, half quantitative) to help you estimate your performance. This diagnostic GMAT does not give you a score, but simply rates your performance as average, above average, below average, etc.
GMAC is also releasing two new texts that will focus on the math and verbal sections of the GMAT: The Official Guide for GMAT Quantitative Review and The Official Guide for GMAT Verbal Review. Each of these guides will contain approximately 300 questions, all of which are reported be taken from the 10th edition of the Official Guide, but not contained in the 11th edition of the Official Guide.
GMAC also appears to have responded to complaints about the readability of its explanations in the Official Guides by claiming to have made them clearer.
Finally, the new GMATPrep software will debut with questions not found in the 11th edition of the Official Guide, but it has not claimed that the questions were never before published, so it's quite possible that the GMATPrep question bin will come from previous editions of the Official Guide. |
