Difference between Manhattan GMAT 3rd and 4th Edition

Books (what's changed)
The content included in the Fourth Edition Strategy Guides is
very similar to the Third Edition with the key differences being
the following:

gmatclub.com/…/manhattan-gmat-bo… 1/6
7/26/2010 Manhattan GMAT Books 3rd, 4th editio…
The Third Edition Guides are built around the 11th
Edition Official Guide, while the Fourth Edition Guides
are built around the 12th Edition Official Guide. This has
required us to revise the problem sets at the end of each
Manhattan GMAT Strategy Guide so the question
numbers correspond to the appropriate problems in the
new Official Guide.
Note that much of the 12th Edition is completely
unchanged from the 11th Edition. Only 1/3 of the
questions (approximately 300 problems) in the 12th
Edition are new, but many have been reordered /
renumbered. View Manhattan GMAT's in-depth
examination of the 12th Edition.
Additionally, in the Fourth Edition Manhattan GMAT
Strategy Guides, the Advanced Content has been moved
to the back of the books. We believe it is more
appropriate for students to begin by learning the basics
and then progress to the more advanced content when
ready. It can be daunting to see some of the more
complex content early on in your studies.

Using Manhattan GMAT 3rd edition with Official Guide12th

ed
3rd edition of the MGMAT Books is designed to be used with
the Official Guide 11 edition but you can use conversion tables
to use these books with the OG 12.
OG 11 to OG 12 Conversion table - it is split by section (find
the table that shows problem correspondence between OG 11
and OG 12); Most people don't get OG 11.

Using Manhattan GMAT 4th edition with Official Guide 11th

ed
4th edition of the MGMAT Books is designed to be used with
the Official Guide 12 edition. If you own a copy of the OG11,
you can may as well get OG 12 as about 30% of the questions
are new and do not match. Most people do buy OG 12 as it
integrates better with the 4th edition.

OG 11 to OG 12 Conversion table - it is split by section (find

the table that shows problem correspondence between OG 12
and OG 11), starts on page 7.

FAQ
1. How much is the set of Manhattan GMAT guidebooks?
- The cost for the Manhattan GMAT Books is around $120 on
Amazon; it includes 8 books (5 math and 3 verbal) as well as
additional exercises for each of the books and 6 adaptive
tests.

2. How do I get access to the additional practice material and 6

online CAT tests?
There is a unique code printed on the back cover every MGMAT
Book that gives you 1-year access to the MGMAT online tests
(same tests for anybook) and also provides access to additional
quizzes (these vary depending on each book).

3. Which Manhattan GMAT guidebooks come with 6 online

adaptive tests?
- Every MGMAT book comes with access to 6 online CAT's - they
are the same, so if you buy several books, you get access to
the same 6 tests; you will have one year after registration to
use the tests.

4. I have Manhattan GMAT 3rd edition books - should I buy the

4th edition? Is it worth it?
- No, there is not that much difference between the two; see
the first paragraph above for description

5. What is the difference between 2nd and 4th editions?

- There was a decent amount of updating between the 2nd and
3rd editions, although the test itself didn't change in any big
way, so the 2nd edition stuff isn't obsolete. The difference
between 3rd and 4th is simply that the 3rd uses OG11 and the
4th uses OG12. (source: mgmat forum)

4th edition of the MGMAT Books is designed to be used with

the Official Guide 11 edition. If you own a copy of the OG11,
Ve rba l GMAT Forum Mode rator
you can use these books with OG 11 though you may as well get
OG 12 as about 30% of the questions are new and do not
match. Most people do buy OG 12 as it integrates better with
the 4th edition.

The bove says 4th refers to OG 11, shouldnt it be OG 12 ?

Manhattan has done a wonderful job of analyzing and

comparing OG12 with OG11. Here

Just download the pdf files and enjoy!!

For those of you who wish to use the OG12 with 3rd edition of
Manhattan guides, they have actually gone ahead and mapped
questions from OG11 to OG12. Really neat work.
