Before taking the GMAT in June, I went through the basic OG, Kaplan, and PR books scoring about 60% of the verbal questions right. After I received a 28V on the actual test, I've went through and learned everything in the Kaplan Advanced, Kaplan Foundations, and Manhattan Review Verbal and made huge improvements. This week I did all of the practice problems in the Official GMAT Verbal Review and got over 85% of the questions right. But today when I took a CAT GMAT practice test from Manhattan Review I scored a 26 on verbal.
Has anybody had this happen? Or Does anybody know any tips to translate my good practice to the CAT?

Are you just knocking out one problem after another or are you trying to figure out why an answer is wrong or right regardless whether you actually got that answer right/wrong?
Also, are you practicing using the GMAT Prep? Are you simulating test situations? For example, your problem may be a matter of fatigue. It would help to do the GMAT Prep and simulate an actual exam.
I take 20 minutes to do 10 questions, then I check them. I usually do that till I complete about 75 questions. When I check them I usually only go over the ones I got wrong.

My recommendation is do the GMAT Prep as you would the real exam. Do 75 minutes straight quant, 10 minute break, 75 minute verbal
Or at least do 75 minute straight verbal. Like I mentioned, it could be fatigue.
