We\u2019ve been working hard for more than a year now to bring you new and improved content, strategies, drills, practice problems, and more. All of the guides are included with any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manhattanprep.com\/gmat\/prep\/instructor-prep-options\/\">Manhattan Prep GMAT class<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manhattanprep.com\/gmat\/prep\/self-guided-prep-options\/\">Self-Guided<\/a> option.\u00a0<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<h4><b>What\u2019s New?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soooo many things are new that I have to think about where to start. Let\u2019s focus on math first.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b><i>All the Quant<\/i><\/b><b> Strategy Guide<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we were racking our brains trying to come up with a title for the new GMAT guide\u2014which includes all the Quant content from our original five (separate) Quant strategy guides\u2014it finally hit us. This includes all the Quant you need to get a great GMAT score, so let\u2019s call it <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/GMAT-All-Quant-definitive-Manhattan\/dp\/1506248543\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All the Quant<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By putting all the Quant content into this one guide, we&#8217;re giving you a huge leap forward in your studies. We wove all the strategies\u2014smart numbers, testing cases, working backwards, estimating, and so on\u2014throughout the underlying content. This provides two great benefits:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>1. You\u2019re learning content and strategies together. As a result, it\u2019s easier for you to internalize how and when to use different strategies.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. As you progress, we build on your earlier skills to discuss more complex scenarios for advanced content and harder problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The guide still covers all Quant content areas from our original five strategy guides:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fractions, Decimals, Percents, and Ratios<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Algebra<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Word Problems<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Number Properties<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Geometry<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We moved the hardest material (formerly found in the Extra chapters) online into our Atlas study platform, in the form of an exclusive eBook that you can access only with the purchase of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All the Quant<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. When you\u2019re ready for this material, you\u2019ll be doing your practice problems onscreen, just as you\u2019ll do on the test.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll also find a whole host of other study resources available to you in Atlas, including additional Quant problem banks, new resources to help you analyze your <\/span><a id=\"bloglink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.manhattanprep.com\/gmat\/free-gmat-practice-test\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GMAT practice tests<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and more. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manhattanprep.com\/gmat\/account\/create\/?bpage=\/gmat\/studentcenter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Just create a (free) account on our website to access Atlas<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We do still have two other GMAT Quant guides. There\u2019s <\/span><a id=\"bloglink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/GMAT-Foundations-Math-Practice-Manhattan\/dp\/1506207642\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Foundations of Math<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which is especially good for those who haven\u2019t done any textbook math in many years and a great starting point if you\u2019re finding <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All the Quant<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to be a little too challenging. There\u2019s also <\/span><a id=\"bloglink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.manhattanprep.com\/gmat\/store\/strategy-guides\/advanced-gmat-quant\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Advanced Quant<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, designed for those already in the 45-47 score range who are pushing for 50 or 51.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b><i>All the Verbal<\/i><\/b><b> Strategy Guide<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similar to Quant, our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/GMAT-All-Verbal-definitive-Manhattan\/dp\/1506249043\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All the Verbal <\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GMAT guide includes all the content from our original three Verbal guides covering Sentence Correction, Reading Comprehension, and Critical Reasoning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the Sentence Correction unit, I\u2019m most excited about the additional GMAT-like problems throughout all the problem sets. These require you to compare complex answer choices just as you\u2019ll have to do on the real test. We\u2019ve also revamped the content around certain topics that are increasingly tested on the exam, including meaning, the core sentence vs. modifiers, parallelism, and comparisons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Critical Reasoning has been updated to address the different kinds of common argument types presented on the GMAT\u2014how they\u2019re constructed and how you can deconstruct them to uncover the key assumptions, avoid the traps, and find the correct answer as efficiently as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can find additional problem banks for all question types online in Atlas, our study platform. Your Atlas account will also contain all the Extra (harder) material from our former strategy guides, compiled into an exclusive eBook available only to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All the Verbal<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> owners. As with Quant, you\u2019ll also find a host of other study resources in your Atlas account.\u00a0And if you find that you need foundational help, we also still have our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Foundations-GMAT-Verbal-Manhattan\/dp\/1937707016\"><em>Foundations of Verbal<\/em> strategy guide<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b><i>Integrated Reasoning &#038; Essay<\/i><\/b><b> Strategy Guide<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Integrated Reasoning portion of our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/GMAT-Integrated-Reasoning-Essay-Resources\/dp\/1506219675\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Integrated Reasoning &#038; Essay<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> GMAT guide has been significantly revamped to provide broader coverage of this section for both the GMAT and the Executive Assessment (EA) exams. Our guide is actually the first book in print that covers the EA. There\u2019s not even an official guide available yet from the makers of the exam.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have you heard of the Executive Assessment before? This is a new exam, launched by GMAC (makers of the GMAT) a few years ago. It\u2019s used by many executive MBA programs\u2014and, increasingly, part-time MBA and other graduate management programs. The EA contains the same question types and content areas (for the most part) as the GMAT, but it\u2019s only 1.5 hours long and structured &#038; scored differently. If you\u2019re thinking about getting an EMBA, a part-time MBA, or another graduate management degree such as a Master of Finance, you may want to check whether your target programs accept the EA.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the GMAT, the IR section is important too; schools and companies are paying more attention to your IR score. If you\u2019re aiming for a top-20 school, you\u2019ll want to score at least a 5 and ideally a 6+ (out of 8). This new guide will help you get the Integrated Reasoning score you need.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b><i>All the GMAT<\/i><\/b><b> Strategy Guide Set<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also buy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manhattanprep.com\/gmat\/all-the-gmat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">all three of the new Manhattan Prep GMAT guides<\/a> in a set that includes some incredibly valuable online resources. First, you\u2019ll get access to all 6 of our computer-adaptive GMAT practice tests. They\u2019re guaranteed to have no repeated questions, plus you can retake as many times as you want. If you\u2019re spreading your tests out, it\u2019s common to take 9 or 10 tests before you start seeing repeated questions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll also get something I think is even more valuable: a complete study syllabus in Atlas, our online study platform. The syllabus gives you homework assignments for every last resource that comes with your purchase\u2014we tell you when to read each chapter, what practice problems to do, when to take your practice tests, how to analyze them, and so on. The syllabus assumes a study period of about 3 months, but you can always speed up or slow down according to your preferred schedule.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019ll even give you problem set assignments from the latest <\/span><a id=\"bloglink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1119576067\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GMAT Official Guide<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">! We\u2019ve devised problem sets that match your progression through your study assignments in all our guides. And we\u2019ll toss in access to our <\/span><a id=\"bloglink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.manhattanprep.com\/gmat\/store\/online-resources\/gmat-navigator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GMAT Navigator<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> tool, which contains our own explanations for all those OG problems\u2014explanations that are a lot more accessible than the ones provided in the OG. (Note: You\u2019ll have to buy the OG yourself\u2014we can\u2019t give you the problems, since we don\u2019t own them.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Atlas, you\u2019ll be able to check off your assignments and see your progress as you go. You can also star specific lessons or practice problems to review again later. (Note: Do this. Reviewing material a second time is a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">really<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> great way to solidify your learning.) We also provide you with core assignments, as well as easier and harder ones where appropriate, so that you can choose according to your level on different topics.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Anything Else about the New Manhattan Prep GMAT Guides?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I think I hit all the major highlights\u2014but if you have any questions, don\u2019t hesitate to ask. Oh, wait, one more thing! You can create a free account in Atlas right now, without buying anything at all. It won\u2019t have all the awesome resources I listed above, but it\u2019ll have one free practice test as well as other free study materials to get you started.
