Is Manhattan GMAT seasonal, and is there a wrong time to buy the course?

I'm not planning on taking the GMAT until spring/summer of 2021, but I figured while I have some time on my hands with no social life due to COVID, I'd get a jump on prep (also between jobs right now, so have even more time). I know some of the online resources with MGMAT are only available to you for 6 months, and I'm wondering if buying the 2020 course/books now is a bad plan considering I'll be taking the 2021 edition of the test. Anyone have any insight?

 

You can buy these books with confidence as the test itself isn’t gonna change much, the working materials will most of the time add new questions or have a few differences in their lessons/exercise.

You should also get the OG books, the 2021 versions have been announced, Idk if they are available yet. Planning on taking the Gmat in December, and honestly it still feels like a rush.

Start ASAP to position yourself and see what score you’re aiming at, then get to work!

The r/GMAT subreddit is a very good place to talk and exchange about it, I’ve found it to feel like WSO.
