Revised eidtion release dates..

by ayush.y.vyas Sat Oct 20, 2012 11:54 pm

Hello,

A friend of mine is planning to take the test early next year.

He asked me if he should be waiting for the new edition of the books to release.

I think it's not worth wasting time waiting for a new release!, as I don't feel that the 4th (or 5th edition...infinite :) ) would have a large difference than the existing one.

Would you be kind enough to let us know, what would be the difference (if at all) at the core of the next edition to come, or if it's 'safe' for him to buy the current edition and get started.

Rgds,

Achu.

Hey Achu,

You're absolutely right. There's no reason to wait for a new edition to come out. Given that we just massively overhauled our curriculum for the revised test, it's unlikely the next edition would be significantly different. Of course, if you were taking a course with us, we would want you to have the most recent books, but that's only so our curriculum lines up correctly. As it stands, our books are (in my humble opinion) the best out there, so there's no reason not to snap 'em up.
