The GMAT Club Guide to The-Official Guide-for GMAT Review, 11, 12, and 13th Edition



The Official Guide is a great resource - it has real GMAT questions, all questions are arranged in order of difficulty, good explanations, etc but it has one major flaw - no way to sample specific questions or ability to target a specific area - for example all CR questions with idioms or all DS questions that deal with geometry. This Guide attempts to correct that flaw (and a little bit more), making Official Guide even better.

Use this guide to:
  • Find details about every question available in the-Official Guide for GMAT Review
  • Help find specific practice questions and build your custom practice tests that focus on your weak areas
  • Questions new to the OG 13 and OG 12 are marked with a *
  • Explanations are linked to each question
  • You can also combine this file with GMAT ToolKit app for iPhone

:!: OG 2016 Directory can be found here




Note that OG 13 and OG 2015 have identical content; therefore all OG 13 materials are applicable and work for the OG 2015.

This should be really helpful.

Thank you.

I am looking for the similar comparison between OG 10 & OG 11. Like manhattangmat provides information about which questions are new in OG 12 (compared to OG 11). Could any one suggest which questions are different in OG 10 & OG 11?

This way one can skip the repeated questions and can save a lot of time. Please help.

Don't have it for OG 11, only OG 12. If you want, you can start the project to put together all of the details for OG 11 (source of free kudos, which provide free tests) - I had help from hgp2k and dzyubam but it did not take me long at all - probably an hour per section to get everything in.

Your question does not really make sense. Regardless, this is the only spreadsheet that gmatclub members put together - if you would like to expand it, I am sure many will be happy to join your effort

This is a great spreadsheet! Thanks to the contributors!

One piece of feedback: the verbal questions were left off the "Diagnostic Test" tab.
