GMAT Official Guide 2024-2025 Bundle: Books + Online Question Bank

I’m a Harvard grad, 99% GMAT scorer, and professional tutor/coach since 2002. I have taken the GMAT 6 times—including the GMAT online—with personal bests of 770 composite, 50/51 Quant, 48/51 Verbal, 8/8 IR (2 times) and 6.0 AWA (4 times), and have scored 700+ on every attempt.More importantly, however, I’ve coached hundreds of aspiring business school students to significantly better GMAT scores over the last two decades, including scores as high as 720 (94%), 740 (97%), 760 (99%), 770, 780, and yes, even the elusive perfect 800, with an average score improvement of over 120 points, as well as multiple scores of 645+ (700+ equivalent) on the new GMAT Focus Edition—which is scored from 205 to 805, and utilizes a different percentile curve from the "classic" 200-800 GMAT.The GMAT Official Guide a.k.a. "OG" 2024-2025 Bundle (currently $99) receives my five-star recommendation because it provides a great source of over 1,750 real GMAT Focus practice questions, including 239 new questions: 1,458 questions in the 4 physical books, and an additional 374 questions on the app version, known as the GMAT Official Guide Online Question Bank. It includes the main “OG” (801 questions in the physical book, and 232 additional online-only questions), as well as additional guides for each of the three sections of the exam: Quantitative (203 questions in the physical book, 18 online), Verbal (289 questions in the physical book, 24 online), and Data Insights (165 questions in the physical book, 100 online).Please note that all of the 42 online-only questions available via the scratch codes in the Verbal and Quantitative guides, and 15 of the online-only questions in the Data Insights guide, are duplicated in the physical version of the main OG—in other words, they are not unique. Thus, though these 4 books technically contain a grand total of 1,832 official GMAT questions, "only" 1,775 of the questions are unique.It is also worth noting that all the new Data Insights questions have never been seen before. Unlike last year's edition of the OG bundle, for example, the 2024-2025 edition includes many examples of the new "Verbal DS" aka "logic-based DS" question type that was introduced alongside the GMAT Focus Edition.A dedicated GMAT self-studier should also utilize the free GMAT Club website, which includes forum-style explanations to every GMAT question in the book, because the official explanations in the OG are notoriously lacking. Simply google the first few words of any GMAT question, and a GMAT Club page will likely emerge as one of the first results.Although the GMAT is of course a computer-adaptive test, and for this reason it is essential to take full, official practice tests on a screen, it can still be quite helpful to study and prepare on paper using physical books such as these. The OG Bundle is by far the very best source of GMAT practice questions, especially for Verbal—where real questions are indispensable—but you will often benefit from another type of study aid to help improve your scores: a book, a class, an online self-study program, a private tutor, or a combination of those 4 methods, in addition to self-study.In many cases, GMAT self-study is possible—especially given the many free, public, and quality learning resources such as GMAT Club for Quant, but preparing on one’s own can be more daunting on the Verbal and Data Insights (DI) sections, where the official explanations can be even more confusing than the questions themselves, and the online preparation options are far more limited and lacking.For more information, google “GMAT Action Plan—McElroy Tutoring.”Best of luck on your GMAT and beyond!

I was concerned about buying these books since previous buyers said the codes were used. These books came sealed in plastic in perfect new condition. They were in a box with cat food I ordered, but still in perfect condition.

Good stuff. It will prepare me to ace the exam.

While prepping for my upcoming exam I decided to order the newest books since this most recent version of the test is quite different from those in the past. Once my package arrived, I was ready to get to studying the newest material since I had been using books from years past. I went into my account to begin uploading the online resources included in the book purchase and much to my surprise, when I opened the book, the code was already scratched and revealed. Upon putting this code into the GMAT prep website, it said that the code had already been redeemed. While this only was the case with the Official Review (the big book), this is quite frustrating as I would have to pay an extra $50 to get the same access for just that one book since someone else has apparently already redeemed mine. Frustrated and confused, I hope this doesn't happen to anyone especially since it is crunch time to get these entrance exams in. The books are great material, but it's hard to use them to the fullest extent when I'm missing a $50 value that I already paid for in this bundle.

Can't elaborate much not fun to study itBut for MBA its a must.The GMAC recycled questions from the 2022 OG which is a bit disappointmentbut the best guide for GMAT with no doubts
