GMAT Official Guide 2024-2025 Bundle (Focus Edition)

A large bank of real GMAT Focus questions, though newer editions or the single guide may suit better.

The short version

Buy it if
  • GMAT Focus test takers who want a large bank of real questions
  • Students targeting higher scores who need extra practice in weak sections
Skip it if
  • You need lessons that teach concepts from scratch
  • You are buying new and can get a newer edition for a similar price

What owners like

  • The largest source of real, retired GMAT questions
  • Questions in the main guide and the three review books do not overlap
  • Difficulty is spread roughly evenly from easy to hard
  • Custom practice sets by type and difficulty make targeted drilling easy

Common complaints

  • Reading Comprehension and Multi-Source Reasoning questions are not grouped by passage online, which makes practice less realistic
  • The bundle costs much more than the main guide on its own
  • Newer editions have since replaced it

Based on Wiley and Hudson Booksellers product listings, the e-GMAT guide to official practice questions, the Manhattan Elite Prep guide to the Official Guides, and the Amazon listing..

What it does

The original Official Guide for GMAT Review is no longer sold, so this covers its closest current match, GMAC's 2024-2025 four book bundle of real past GMAT Focus questions with an online question bank.

  • Real retired GMAT questions written by the test maker
  • Covers all three GMAT Focus sections: Quantitative Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning and Data Insights
  • Online Question Bank builds custom practice sets by question type and difficulty
  • Diagnostic quizzes, progress tracking, timed practice and digital flashcards
  • Detailed explanations for right and wrong answers

A solid core resource for GMAT Focus test takers who want a large set of real retired questions across Quant, Verbal and Data Insights. The trade-offs are that it is a question bank with explanations rather than a course, the online platform has some practice limitations, and newer 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 bundles now exist.
