The Data Insights official book has only DS questions; however, this book has a "code" (that you can reveal by scratching) that gives you online access to 200+ Data Insights questions of all categories (not just limited to DS).

Saturday morning NYC team time would be great for the practice test.

Interesting times for the GMAT. Just a small fyi to everyone that the main Official Guide 2023 doesn't have a single "fresh" question. Not sure if this applies to the others but fair to say it wouldn't be surprising.

In the Quant guide. I haven't seen any PnC and Probability questions

I have the GMAT official guide 2021 one.Should I buy the new 2023-2024 version?

[thibaultauger]

I do have a question if someone minds answering and guiding me. So the bundle is 4 books: verbal, Quant, Data insight, and the yellow color book.
I am trying to get a plan ready for myself.
What is the goal of the Yellow official guide book? Is it worth taking a lot of time to read it or should I jump straight into the last 3 books(quant, verbal, and data)?
I am really just trying to figure out if the yellow book is worth anything because the other 3 all go over each section making me think that the yellow book isn't worth much except repeating concepts from the other book.
Pls someone help me decide if I jump straight into the 3 books or if I still read the yellow one?
Thanks a lot!!!!

Good to know some inshighful information. Now I'm a bit confused for taking GMAT. Cann't figure out which version I should take.

[shashwatmishra]

@quantreasoning sir, in this gfe should we skip the AWA part ? Also should we skip the trigonometry and calculus part ?

[s.prajita]

What websites do you recommend people use to take the 2024 focus edition practice tests?

[sourabhmulik]

Great analysis man, to the point!! now, waiting for the live event.

Also, just wanted to know if I should buy the new GMAT Focus official guide or use the old one (OG-2022) for GMAT Focus preparation?

[vishalmalhotra]

Thanks for the wonderful analysis RC n CR Question Types are exactly the same ?

[jorgemunoz]

Does the code that the book contains works online? i saw some people complaining it wasn't working

[dianaaranzazuh]

Thanks for the information. Then, as Data Insight book is only Data Sufficiency, there is not useful information on the books to study for Integrated Reasoning?

[gutstodance]

hello avi thanks for the video.

Can we have access to the e-book from the books you show on the video ? Sometimes i like to switch from the physical material to the e-book. is this possible ?

[tihijkp]

Is there a matrix of gmat scores already, as for what combination of results would bring which final score?

[houdasrhir]

So there is no integrated reasoning and that was solely replaced by data sufficiency under the name data insight? Is that it? btw thank you so much for these videos.

[theweekndislove]

Quant only has Arithmetic and Algrebra? Can you confirm that?

[ryankoech]

When will the new test begin, ? I am stranded between practicing for the old and new format

[Haiderrrr_]

Sir I will be giving the gmat exam in 2025 as well as cat currently preparing quantitative sec through cat books as it will help in my gmat sec and verbal sec I'm preparing with the gmat focus edition verbal review book this will help me in both cat as well as gmat isn't it?

[davestr]

Thanks for sharing your impressions. I see that (online/mobile) is written on the books. Is this only for questions or do the hard-copy books also come with an ebook access to study on the laptop? Thanks
