I have taken GMAT Prep tests on 2 separate occassions, which were on 1st of April and 9th of April. I got an exact amount of score with just different score distributions between verbal and quant. I got 660 (44Q, 37V with 5 unanswered Q questions) on my 1st test and another 660 on my 2nd (47Q, 35V with another time issue on last 3 Quant questions but I make a guess instead of leaving it blank, all wrong though).
Interestingly I actually made less mistakes on my verbal section on my 2nd attempt (10 wrong answers compared to 13 in the 1st one). I have heard of GMAT unique algorithm and such but this actually made me rather insecure.
I will be taking the test in around 10 days, so I wonder how accurate is GMAT prep actually is?
Thanks for any advice!

If we leave exam day pressure aside, the GMATPrep is a more accurate measure of a test taker's ability than the actual GMAT is.

Hi @jxav - Assuming you are talking about the official GMATprep software, it is the most accurate mock test that you can take. These practice exams draw on retired official test questions.
The algorithm is quite complex - I wouldn't worry about trying to understand it on an extremely deep level. Do know, however, that it does not depend solely on the number of questions you answer correctly, but also on the difficulty level of those questions.
Additionally, remember that it is always better to guess on quant questions than to leave them blank. For verbal the strategy can be slightly different, but considering you are already scoring at a relatively high level on the quant, you are seriously limiting yourself by leaving questions blank.
Hope this helps and good luck on the real thing!
