Hi. Welcome to GMAT Club! I see you are from Namibia - are you in Windhoek or on the coast? I had a chance a few years ago to drive through the Namib desert and skeleton coast (or rather be driven 
) and it was fascinating. Really liked the place.
That's a wicked high practice score you got... sorry about the real one.
A few things:
1. Sometimes the GMAT Prep mock is not accurate due to repeat/familiar questions so you want to make sure you rule that out (that you did not solve these questions before)
2. Sometimes there are situations where a score just does not match the expectations. This is usually corrected by retaking and scoring much higher while doing nothing in between the tests. This has happened a few times (sometimes it happens the other way)
3. It is hard to tell what happened on the exam. We have some guesses and some theories but usually need an ESR for that and even with an ESR it is sort of wasteful. I think what you are referring to is that sometimes on the test, there are not enough hard questions and so you get served many medium and easy ones (just like on tests 3-6) and as the result you you have to have a very high accuracy rate on easy questions to get a high score. Otherwise, a few mistakes can take you down quite a bit.
I would not get caught in all of this. You can easily solve your question by taking another mock - GMAT Prep 2 or you can venture and buy one of the paid tests that don't have many hard questions (Exams 5&6) and see how that goes for you and get a direction of either study something else more or perhaps just a retake will be sufficient.
