Any 4th Edition changes from 3rd Edition?

by WaltGrace1983 Tue Mar 18, 2014 9:44 am

I've looked for a thread on the new books but couldn't find much (my apologies if I missed something). Either way, I have a few questions about the 4th edition books that will be coming out in a few weeks. I cannot wait!

(1) If you took a Manhattan class, do you get a discount on the books?

(2) I know that RC is going to be different, improved, more awesome, etc. However, what are the actual changes in the RC book? Is it a new method? Is it more depth to the "old" method?

(3) What can we expect from LG/LR? I have gone through both books fairly in-depth but am going to buy the new guides anyway. I just want to know what I'll be getting before opening them though.

Thanks a lot for your help! This has been a slow, arduous, process but I feel like I am really starting to hit my stride and won't stop until I get that 172+!

Sorry for the delay!

1. Unfortunately, there are no discounts on our 4th edition guides being offered. That said, on Amazon, you can pre-order the RC Guide for $30.27 (reg: $44.99).

2. The 4th edition RC Guide received a ton of new drills and exercises, but we believe the methodology laid out in our 3rd edition RC Guide is the right one for students to follow. So no new methodology, just lots of new opportunities to practice on.

3. The 4th edition LR Guide has a few more drills than the 3rd edition, but for the most part, it's the same. The 4th edition LG Guide is page for page exactly the same, except for a few typos we discovered and cleaned up. I would not recommend purchasing the 4th edition LR/LG Guides, if you already have the 3rd edition; you won't find anything in there you don't already have.

Good luck with your prep!
