I've heard you guys are going to roll out a 2008 edition of your study guides sometime this summer. I want to buy the full set, but should I hold off until this edition becomes available (i.e. will the new books be substantively different/better or just a repackaging of the more or less same material)?

I don't plan on taking the GMAT till fall, so I can afford to wait if these new books will mark a significant update in some area. Thx!

We’re working away on the third edition right now, which won’t be ready until mid- to late summer. I hate to be coy, but we’re still unclear on what will make the cut. There will certainly be some substantive upgrades, but a great deal of the current material will be either left alone or simply repackaged. We think the current guides do a very good job, and the GMAT evolves relatively slowly. So, my advice would be not to hold back on your own preparation. If you have time now to get started, go ahead and do so.

Hope that's helpful!
