新---OG12th

fff777

如果有OG11就不用买了，没有本质变化 。 美国培训机构1个多月前就出报告了，只是例题稍微调整了一些而已，估计新prep里都有，所以问题不大。关键是要把思想吃透。  别被XDF等误人子弟的思路误导！

Purchase the OG 12th Edition

On March 13, the 12th Edition of the Official Guide for GMAT Review was released. We at Manhattan GMAT have analyzed the book in detail; here are our findings.

Not Radically Different

Only 1/3 of the questions are new. Out of 907 problems, 607 are repeats. The best way to look at the 12th Edition is as a source of 300 great new practice problems.

Much of the book is completely unchanged:

• Most explanations for repeated problems have been untouched, though some have been improved.
• The Diagnostic Exam, Math Review, Test-Taking Strategies and Directions are unchanged.
• Excluding the Diagnostic Exam, sample questions are organized by difficulty, according to the GMAC – just as they are in the 11th edition.

The removed and added problems constitute a slight shift in the relative emphasis of certain topics, but the underlying content is essentially the same as that covered in the 11th Edition.

In fact, of the 300 new problems, some of the new Quant problems can be found in GMATFocus™ (a GMAC product).

It is important to note that you should not over-interpret the changes from the 11th Edition to the 12th Edition! Some variation is to be expected. Nothing in these changes suggests a notable shift in how students should prepare for the exam.

Data Sufficiency Has Grown

The 12th Edition has 19 more Data Sufficiency problems than the 11th Edition. Moreover, 47% of the Data Sufficiency problems in the 12th Edition are new. For other question formats, turnover is in the 22%-36% range.

In addition, the 12th edition has 19 fewer Problem Solving questions than the 11th Edition. These shifts may suggest an increase in the relative importance of Data Sufficiency, but this is not certain.

Transition If And When You’re Comfortable

If you have been preparing with the 11th Edition, feel free to treat the 12th Edition as a source of additional practice. But you do not need to switch immediately. If your exam is near, you might consider mining the 12th Edition for a few new problems. But your time may be better spent reviewing practice problems you have already encountered, as well as doing online practice with  GMATFocus, or practice exams such as ours.

唉，又白买了...

淘宝的OG12，现在只要30元，没问题，比起10，11，没有大的变化。哪个都行，里面绝大多数题没有变化，手头还有7，8，9版，基本上都是那些题，不会轻易增加很多新题的，

材料都差不多，大家的起点有些差但也不是天壤之别，坚持，改进，再坚持，说起来容易，要去做
