Did you mean to say 8 guides? Our current edition has 8 separate books - the critical reasoning and reading comp books were split into two different books over a year ago.

Yes, the online problem banks tend to be harder than what's in the books - the problems in the books are designed to test you mainly on the content (for math and grammar). They are not GMAT-format questions (no multiple choice answers, for example!).

The online problems are in GMAT format, which means they test you on both the content (math, grammar) AND GMAT strategies. Some of those GMAT strategies are in the books but some are found in our classes and labs. If you only have the books then you do not have everything that we teach...
