I just completed GMAT Prep Practice Exam #4 and received a quant score of 49. This was shocking because the questions felt easy so I was sure I was doing poorly during the exam. While I have been studying a lot, I am skeptical of the score because my recent quant scores on Manhattan CATs and GMAT Club Tests have ranged from 38-45. When I researched every quant question from this GMAT Prep Practice Exam, the overwhelming majority of questions fell into the 600-700 or sub-600 levels (based on GMAT Club tags) with only 7-8 700-level questions. Does anyone have any ideas for why my score came out so high despite the relatively low difficulty levels of questions? I know GMAT Prep is supposed to be the most reliable exam but I wonder if the software miscalculated.

You can be fairly confident that the result from the official GMAT prep is the closest indication to your actual GMAT score.
Both MGMAT, as well as Gmatclub, are famous for offering more challenging quant section than the official test.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,

Hi chard,
The scoring algorithm on the Official GMAT is far more complicated than most people realize. Since that algorithm is proprietary, no GMAT company has an exact match for it, thus CAT scores can vary a bit based on the 'biases' involved in their respective designs.
If you are looking for any advice to improve your Scores, then it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) How long have you studied?
2) What study materials have you used so far?
3) How have you scored on EACH of your CATs/mocks (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
Goals:
4) What is your goal score?
5) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
6) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
7) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
