Hey all,
I made a very confusing experience. I took the first official pratice exam last week after two months of study and was overwhelmed by the wuant questions so I decided to not finish it.
However, afterwards I contacted a private tutor and he told me to do a full length exam so he can evaluate me.
So I took pratice exam 2 and felt the questions were super easy. I thought well a lot of 600points questions in that case, but when I finished the exam I got a 720 score with Q49/V40 and I was completely off the hook!
My instructor told me that he thinks I only have to focus on verbal and I will be fine for the real thing BUT I really feel like there was a difference in the level of difficulty this time...
Is this possible, or do I imagine things? lol

Hi DeOe22,
About 2 months ago, you posted that you were beginning your studies with the plan to take the GMAT on July 26th. Did you take the GMAT as scheduled (and if you did, then how did you score - including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?
You also noted that you had taken a CAT and score 620. Have you taken any other CATs since then - and if you did, then how did you score?
It's certainly possible that you've honed the necessary skills over the last 2 months to raise your prior 620 to a 720 on a CAT. That having been said, if you did not take this CAT in a realistic fashion that matches what you will face on Test Day, then there are factors than can impact your performance (and potentially "inflate" your Score).

I think that you may have just been nervous taking the first exam, as the difficulty levels of the two exams should be pretty similar.
Feel free to reach out with further questions. Good luck!
