Here are some highlights from the conversation.
On what the Official Guide is, exactly:
“The Official Guide is a study guide that business school candidates can use as a resource to learn about the GMAT exam and how to prepare for their test day. The content provides an introduction to the four GMAT exam sections, which are Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, Integrated Reasoning, as well as the Analytical Writing Assessment… The Official Guide is essentially your coach to get to know the GMAT ahead of your test day.”
On the new Official Guide exclusive diagnostic evaluations:
“This year’s edition I can confidently say has more features than ever before to help candidates evaluate their skills, build their knowledge, and track their performance… the new Official Guide exclusive online diagnostic evaluations include three separate diagnostic tests, each for verbal, quantitative and Integrated Reasoning sections of the exam, and each test will include questions from different fundamental skill groups to cover a wide variety of topics and difficulty level for each exam section. This should help you gauge your strengths and weaknesses, at the beginning of your prep journey, so you can do a more focused prep, as you progress in your journey."
On using the online question bank:
“Each book comes with its own online question bank, and as the name implies, it's an online resource that has a multitude of tools and content to help you with your GMAT prep. You can customize your prep in many different ways through the question bank, and to begin with, all the practice questions that are in the book are also available in the online question bank, along with 170-plus online-only exclusive questions, so you can create and customize your practice sets for all the various exam sections that can be filtered by fundamental skills or difficulty level, you can choose the number of questions within a set as well.
