I've been a GMAT tutor in NYC and online for over ten years and am the founder of Atlantic GMAT (100% GMAT 0%BS!). I've already reviewed all three of the 2016 Official Guides, so here are summaries along with new question breakdowns for each book (main reviews are on each book's page).The GMAT Official Guide 2016 bundle is an excellent deal. If you are near the start of your GMAT preparation this is pretty much a no brainer purchase. Keep in mind that this is essentially a question bank MEANT FOR PRACTICE and has VERY LIMITED TEACHING MATERIAL. That said, the questions in these books are absolutely the best thing to practice on. Avoid third party/non-official questions as they lack the nuances of the real deals (especially verbal questions). Even though there are small annoying issues with it, I'd buy the Kindle version to best approximate how the test will be. You can download the corrected Kindle answer key from my website.Here’s what we’re going to cover in the review:Official Guide 2016 vs Official 2017.

(The corrected Kindle answer key can be downloaded from my website).What other official GMAT resources should you consider buyingNew questions broken down by category*****************************************Official Guide 2016 vs Official 2017************************************The short answer is: if you can get it at a significant discount, buy the 2016 edition! The new guide (2017) has some unreleased questions but those questions aren’t necessarily any better than the questions that they are replacing in the older guide.
I am a Harvard grad and professional GMAT tutor with 15 years of experience, and am fairly obsessed with this test. I also take the GMAT at least once a year to stay up-to-date, including a recent score of 770 (48 V/47 Q). These books receive my strong recommendation because they provide a great source of real GMAT questions at a decent price (they normally retail for about $45).One aspect of these books that you must understand is that they are not meant to teach you GMAT test-taking strategy. For that, look elsewhere (see product links below). However, they include some of the very best practice materials available, straight from the test-maker, and although the answer explanations are often convoluted, they are still useful in understanding how the GMAC thinks.Why are the 2016 Official Guides the very best place to start your GMAT preparation, other than the free GMATPrep software? Because the questions in these books are super-realistic. They are just like the questions on the real GMAT, because the book is written by the test-maker and uses actual, retired GMAT questions. Don't waste your time and money practicing on questions made by any other companies--these are merely inferior imitations of the real thing. If you must use other materials for test strategy, then that's fine, and in most cases necessary, but try your best to stick to official questions whenever possible.Pro tip: You can take each of the 6 GMAT Prep CATs more than once, because the GMAT is an adaptive test (it adjusts the difficulty level of later questions based on your previous responses). There are about 4 to 16 times as many questions in the GMAC's question pool as there are in any given test, which means that every test you take will be different. Tests 1 and 2 draw from a (gigantic!
The publishers of the GMAT Official Guides had asked GMAT Genius to help them improve the online versions of the Official Guides. GMAT Genius worked closely with the publishers in this effort in the weeks leading up to the release of the 2016 editions. This has given us an opportunity to thoroughly analyze the 2016 Official Guides, and we want to share our insights with you. Feel free to read our detailed analysis or to skip down to our conclusions.OVERVIEWThe Official Guides for GMAT Review contain retired real GMAT questions, and are an essential component of your GMAT preparations. The GMAC places questions in order of increasing difficulty, based on its assessment of difficulty. The three books in this bundle have no overlap in practice questions.Unlike the 2015 edition, which contained no new questions, the 2016 edition contains 352 new questions out of the 1,508 total questions. Excluding the 100 questions in the Diagnostic Exam section of the main book, the new questions represent 25% new content as promised by the GMAC. These are brand new questions that we have not encountered before; they are not questions recycled from older GMAC resources.Since we have published a detailed review for each of the three Official Guide books included in this bundle, our objective below is to provide a combined analysis of each question type (e.g. combine data for all Problem Solving questions across all books). You will find a list of new questions in our reviews of the individual books.PROBLEM SOLVINGThe Official Guide Bundle contains a total of 430 Problem Solving questions.
